RedactedNarrative: On 23 August 2015 at 1922 hours I received a call from DNR Communications of a boat accident victim at Garrett Memorial Hospital.  The individual was wakeboarding on Deep Creek Lake, Garrett County, MD.  
   
        I made contact with the victim in the Emergency Room.  Victim is 14 years of age.  He was unsure of the location or time of the incident.  He knew that it occurred on Deep Creek Lake.  Victim advised that he had been wakeboarding.  He hit a wake in an attempt to jump into the air.  Victim did go into the air.  When he landed the front of his wakeboard submerged, throwing him forward.  He did not let go of the ski rope.  The boat pulled him forward and the water against the board twisted his right foot.  Victim was found to have a sprained foot and contusion of the foot (bruising).  He was provided a soft brace and crutches.  
   
        Victim's mother had transported him to the hospital.  She advised that the operator was Victim's father.
   
        Operator stated that he felt that he was traveling between 15 - 20 mph.  Boat traffic was light to moderate.   I inspected the vessel.  It was a 2011 Sea Ray Sundeck, PA 7446 DH registration.  
   
       No violations were observed.
