RedactedNarrative: Vessel – 1986, 7’ Kawasaki JS 550 Personal Watercraft (PWC) w/1 Kawasaki Gasoline Outboard Engine – 41 HP
  
  On 05/28/2020, at about 04:45 p.m., this vessel was cruising on Lake Stevens close to Davies Beach, located near Lake Stevens, WA in Snohomish county.
  
  According to Law Enforcement, Operator was underway at the above location crossing/jumping a wake created by passing vessels in moderate lake congestion.  While doing so, Operator lost his footing and fell on top of the PWC deck.  The fall back to the vessel caused a laceration to his lower right leg when it made contact with the fiberglass and padding atop the deck.
  
  As Operator lay floating within the water, he called out for assistance to passing boaters.  An un-named, un-involved boater in the area heard Operator’s call for help.  The boater contacted Operator and assisted him into his boat.  The boater took Operator to a nearby public park where on-duty officers assisted in his medical care.
  
  Lake Stevens Fire Department medical personnel arrived shortly after.  Operator sustained injuries beyond first aid and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
