RedactedNarrative: On Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at approximtely 1950 hours I was notified by Georgia State Patrol (GSP) dispatch about a possible boating incident in Chatham County that was called in by the US Coast Guard (USCG).  After briefly talking with GSP dispatch, I called USCG Sector Charleston and spoke with Senior Chief.  
  
  USCG advised they were contacted via phone at approximately 1830 hours about a boating incident where the vessel was taking on water in the vicinity of Elba Island.  USCG advised they had a boat crew from USCG Station Tybee underway to search for the vessel but had not located it yet.  USCG advised during the initial call, the caller who was an occupant in the distressed vessel sounded distressed and they were not able to get accurate information from the caller.  
  
  USCG said they think the vessel went back to the Thunderbolt area but they were unsure about injuries and the status of the vessel.  USCG advised they called Chatham County EMS dispatch in an attempt to confirm if they had responded, treated, or transported any injured victims from a boating incident.  
  
  USCG stated at the time they believed Chatham County EMS had transported an adult female who had injuries from a boat incident but they were unsure of the circumstances.  After talking with USCG, I called Chatham County EMS dispatch in order to find out about a possible injured female.  The dispatcher I spoke with advised she nor her supervisor were aware of any ambulance transports involving an injured female from a boating incident.  
  
  After talking with Chatham County EMS, I spoke with Chatham County Marine Patrol.  Subject1 advised they responded to the call of a boating incident in the reported area and they did not see any vessels or persons in distress at the reported location and they suspended their search.  After talking with Subject1, I called USCG back to report what I had found out.  During my second call with USCG, he advised their boat crew had found the distressed vessel moored to a dock at the Causton Bluff Marina which is a private community marina.  USCG advised all occupants of the vessel were accounted for and no one was missing.  I advised USCG I would be enroute by vehicle and I would have an estimated 1 hour time of arrival.  After I got ready, I called GSP dispatch back and updated my status.   
  
  I arrived on scene at Causton Bluff Marina at approximately 9:21pm.  After arriving on scene I went down to the distressed vessel  that was partially sunk and tied to the dock.  The vessel had significant damage to the port side and a red marker sign was wedged into the fiberglass on the port side.  There appeared to be 2-3 empty alcoholic beverage (Ultra Light) cans floating inside the vessel along with an empty Red Bull beverage can. I did not enter the vessel because the interior was full of water.  It was also dark at the dock and I had to utilize my flashlight to observe the vessel and contents.  USCG personnel were on scene along with subject2’s father, Tow Boat US, and approximately a dozen other people who appeared to be residence of the Causton Bluff private community.  
  
  After taking pictures of the damaged vessel while it was tied to the dock, I interviewed subject2 while we were at the dock.  Subject2 stated he was operating the vessel at the time of the incident.  Subject2 stated they were approaching the Elba Island bridge coming back fom River St. in Savannah.  Subject2 stated him and the other occupants were talking and the sun was setting.  Subject2 stated he couldn't see very well because the sun was setting.  Subject2 also advised he was going approximately 40-45 mph.  Subject2 said the incident happened around 5:30pm, right around sunset.  Sunset was at 5:25pm on December 22, 2020 in Savannah, GA.  Even though I observed a few empty beer cans in the vessel at the dock, I did not observe any signs of impairment during the interview.
  
  The victim had fractures to her femur, arm, ribs, and spine.
