RedactedNarrative: On April 24, 2016, I was contacted by the Hart County Sheriff's Office at approximately 12:00 PM in reference to a possible boating incident on Hartwell Lake.  Deputies and EMS were en route to the scene at Milltown Campground Ramp.  I called Officer1 at the scene to get me the pertinent information needed for the incident due to the subject needing medical assistance.  
  Injured1 was the victim of the incident.  Injured1 was wake boarding for the first time and suffered a broke femur to his right leg.  I met with Officer2 and we went to the location of the vessel.  We got needed information off the vessel.
  On April 29, 2016, I called and spoke with Owner1 and Owner2, the owners of the vessel, and who also were on the vessel at the time of the incident.  Owner2 stated that her daughters friends were up from Georgia Southern College before their final exams and wanted Owner1 to take them out on the water one last time before heading back.  Owner2 stated that they always go to that location on the lake to ski due to the traffic not being that bad.  She stated that when Injured1 was wake boarding, he never came up to ski.  She also stated that there was no alcohol involved, that is what Officer1 stated as well, and that everyone that needed PFD's had them on.  Owner1 stated that he was the operator of the vessel.  He stated that he was glad that he did not have to go across the lake to Hartwell Marina for EMS to get to Injured1.  I also spoke with Injured1.  He stated that this was one of his first times ever skiing.  He stated that when he was coming up to ski he thinks he leaned a little too far forward and the board caught the water and he heard his leg snap.  He stated that he thought that the inexperience did play a role into him getting hurt.
  Injured1 was taken to Athens Regional Hospital where he went into surgery the following morning.  Doctors placed a rod in his right femur and sent him home on Tuesday.  He is expected to make a full recovery.
