RedactedNarrative: On Sunday, July 24, 2016, at approximately 12:30PM, I received a call from OFC. of the Maryland Natural Resources Police.  Ofc advised his cadet received information of a personal injury boat accident on the Washington County MD Fire Calls Facebook page.  The location of the accident was on the Potomac River at Dam 4.  Ofc, who had an extended ETA asked if I would respond.  I agreed. 
  
  I responded to the area of Dam 4 road.  As I neared the boat ramp, I observed the Maryland State Trooper medivac helicopter landed in a field off of Dam 4 Road.  The road was closed at this time to all traffic except emergency personnel.   I observed an ambulance ahead of me.  I exited my vehicle by the ambulance and asked a flight medic what was going on.  The flight medic advised they were getting ready to transport the boat accident victim to Meritus hospital in Hagerstown.  The flight medic then handed me the victim's Maryland driver's license and loaded him in the helicopter. 
   
  I then made contact with the operator of the vessel.  Operator advised he was pulling a tube out on the river at approximately 30mph when he noticed a submerged log in the river.  Operator advised he tried maneuver the boat so the tube would not strike the log.  Operator advised one of the occupants on the tube rolled off before the collision.  Operator advised the other occupant on the tube remained on the tube and sustained injuries to his genitals from the collision.  Operator stated the accident occurred by the rope swing near the rock wall.   Operator stated they called 911 and brought victim back to the boat ramp.  Operator advised the accident occurred at approximately 12:00PM.  Operator had already trailered his vessel and was heading to Meritus hospital.  
   
  I took the names and date of birth of all the witnesses on board at the time of the accident and advised them I would get statements from them at the hospital.  I also recorded the registration number and the HIN number from vessel. 
   
  On my way to Meritus hospital, I received a call for an assault in progress at the Dam 4 boat ramp.  I turned around and responded to that call.  Investigator Cpl., of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, responded to Meritus hospital to take statements from the victim and witnesses.
   
  All events occurred in Washington County, Maryland.
