RedactedNarrative: On 7/11/21 at approximately 1645 hours, while on vessel patrol on Lake Lanier in the area of Harbor Point, I was contacted by SGT that a boating incident had taken place near Van Pugh North Park involving a PWC.  He said that there was one person sent to the North East Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville due to injuries sustained during the incident.  SGT said that he was going to investigate the incident by vessel at Van Pugh and I was to interview the victim at the hospital.
  
  I called Hall County dispatch to confirm and left for the hospital by patrol vehicle with CPL..  I arrived at the North East Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville at approximately 1719 hours.  Once there CPL. and I made contact with victim who was laying in a hospital bed.  She appeared to have injuries around her nose and mouth.  Victim appeared to be unconscious, but I introduced myself and asked if she could tell me what happened.  She whispered that she could not remember.
  
  At that time three people entered the hospital room.  They said that they were at Van Pugh Park when the incident occurred.  Subject1 had the most detailed statement in which he said that he saw the PWC leave, saying that: "Victim was in the back, the other girl was in the middle, Operator was driving."  Subject2 stated that Victim "was also the only one drinking."  I had each fill out a witness statement which are attached to this report.
  
  I called Operator shortly afterwards and interviewed her by phone.  She told me that she was driving the PWC.  She said that they were only 10 minutes into their ride, when she hit a big wave and all three fell off.  She said that Victim' face was bleeding and that she appeared to be unconscious.  She said that she drove the three of them back to shore at Van Pugh North Park.  She said that the incident occurred between the no wake buoys and the island sitting off shore seen from the beach.
  
  I called the middle passenger next and interviewed her by phone.  She said that Operator was driving and that she was sitting in the middle with Victim sitting in the back.  She said that they were only about 5 minutes into their ride when they hit a big wave and the three fell off.  She said that Victim had a bloody face and was unconscious.
  
  I have attached a diagram to this report that illustrates the area in which this incident occurred.
