RedactedNarrative: On Saturday July 7, 2018 at approximately 2:55 p.m. I responded to Bainbridge Memorial Hospital in reference to a boating incident that occurred on Spring Creek. Upon arrival I met with the victim and her husband. Both subjects stated they were passengers in a vessel that was being operated by their son Operator. According to both individuals, the vessel they were riding in was traveling north from Ralph King landing when it struck a submerged stump. The vessel then quickly decelerated and turned sharply to the right. The impact caused the victim to fall forward into the floorboard of the vessel causing a puncture wound to her left arm. I then made contact with the operator of the vessel at Ralph King Landing. Operator confirmed the victim’s account of the incident.
  
  Based on statements made by the victim, passenger and the vessel’s operator, it appears that vessel #1 was travelling North on Spring Creek when it struck a submerged stump. The vessel rapidly decelerated and made an abrupt right turn before coming to rest. The force of the impact caused the victim to be thrown to the vessel’s floor where she received a puncture wound to the left arm. An inspection of the vessel revealed no signs of obvious damage. The victim was transported to the Bainbridge Memorial Hospital E.R. by private vehicle and was treated for her injuries before being released. Investigation into the incident also revealed that Operator did not meet the required boating education standards. Operator was cited for failure to meet the required boating education requirements.
