RedactedNarrative: On July 9, 2022 at approximately 1349 I received a call from dispatch about a boat accident on Tellico lake near Tanasi Clubhouse off of 444. I responded and arrived on scene at Tanasi clubhouse at about 1415. Upon arrival I walked to the back of the clubhouse where the docks were and observed EMS attending to two individuals, one was on a pontoon boat and one was on the dock beside the pontoon. 
  
  After speaking with one of the LEO''s on scene, he pointed me in the direction of an eye witness. He was able to get me a written statement and point me in the direction of one more eye witness. She was also able to give me a written statement. After getting pictures and documenting all I could get at the scene, I went to UT hospital where the 2 injured victims had been transported. 
  
  Upon arrival officer was getting a statement from the operator. After we got his written statement, we were able to find an injured occupant. Although she was in pain she was coherent enough to give a statement. After compiling and reviewing all evidence and statements, I concluded that Operator was operating a jet ski on Tellico Lake just outside powerline cove. 
  
  Occupant was on the back of the jet ski holding on to Operator. They were both wearing life jackets and were traveling behind a ski boat jumping their wake. Operator was operating the jet ski at about 38 MPH when it hit a wake from the ski boat that caused Operator to be thrown over the front right side of the jet ski and caused Occupant to be thrown about 10 feet in the air. 
  
  Operator landed in the water and Occupant came down out of the air and landed on the back of the jet ski then fell in the water. The ski boat seen what had happened and turned around and called 911. Operator was able to get in touch with Occupants father, and Occupants father got on his pontoon boat and came and picked up both Operator and Occupant and transported them to Tanasi Clubhouse. Prior to this, Operator had zero operating experience on a jet ski and has had no boater education. Operator sustained a sprained ankle and lacerations on his arm. Occupant sustained a broken femur. Damage to the vessel includes the right side mirror and the throttle.
