RedactedNarrative: On Sunday, July 18th, 2021, Talbot County Emergency Services contacted DNR Police Communications to advise them an ambulance was being dispatched for a report of a female subject who was injured on a boat. I was dispatched to that same location at approximately 1722 hours. I contacted Talbot County Emergency Services to determine if the patient was transported to a local hospital. They advised me that the female was transported to Dorchester General Hospital. Due to an extended travel time, I had two other officers respond to DGH to obtain more information prior to my arrival. They were able to obtain pictures from the EMS report and written statements from the operator and the patient. On the EMS report, the paramedic diagnosed the injury as a traumatic back injury. I obtained further information of the incident when I arrived at the hospital.
  OPERATOR 1 explained that they were traveling upriver from Suicide Restaurant in their 16 foot Bayliner bearing valid Maryland Registration "3462CT" when they passed a large vessel traveling the opposite direction. When OPERATOR 1 maneuvered his boat through the wake of the other boat, VICTIM, who was sitting on next to OPERATOR 1 on port side of the boat, became airborne and landed back in her seat in a way to cause the injury. OPERATOR 1 said he was going approximately 20 MPH at the time of the incident. OPERATOR 1 believes the incident occurred just south of the Dover Bridge. No one else was injured during the incident. 
  Two other passengers were also on the vessel at the time of the incident. Both individuals were sitting in the front of the vessel.
  Pictures of the EMS report and the written statements have been added to the report.  The written statements were obtained at the hospital by officers and were documented on a NRP-425A.
  All events occurred on Talbot County, Maryland.
