RedactedNarrative: On 6-24-2020, Wardens were on shift in Helena, MT. at approximately 1745 hours Lewis & Clark County dispatch broadcast a 911 call from York Bridge area that someone was injured but refused to give their name or what happened. I responded to the boat ramp at York Bridge and spoke with witnesses who said they helped carry an injured woman from a boat to a vehicle. Witnesses said the injured women was losing consciousness and needing to be carried to the vehicle. The vehicle drove away from York Bridge boat ramp to the hospital with a pickup towing a boat following.
  
  
  I left York Bridge traveling toward the hospital and found the pickup and boat involved at mile marker 5 on York road. I spoke with the owner/operator of the boat OPERATOR 1, identified by a Montana driver license. OPERATOR 1 said the following
  •	OPERATOR 1 was operating his boat on Hauser Lake with two other people onboard
  •	While driving toward the York Bridge boat ramp OPERATOR 1 noticed a disturbing look on PASSENGER 1’s face
  •	PASSENGER 1 held up her arm up and the wrist bone looked broken
  •	PASSENGER 1 was sitting by a large tube and rope used for being towed behind the boat.
  •	OPERATOR 1 was not sure what happened to PASSENGER 1’s arm but guessed while driving at speeds that caused the tube or rope to hit PASSENGER 1’s arm.
  •	The water conditions were calm and safe- the storm (that came shortly after the 	incident) had not yet come in.
  •	Waves, water condition, or alcohol were not factors
  •	OPERATOR 1 has owned that boat for many years and has never experienced anything like this
  
  On 6-27-2020 I spoke with PASSENGER 2 and PASSENGER 1. They said the following.
  •	On 6-24-2020 they were on a boat operated by their friend, OPERATOR 1.
  •	PASSENGER 1 said English is not her first language
  •	The boat was driving around Hauser Lake with PASSENGER 1 sitting on the rear seat.
  •	PASSENGER 2 looked at PASSENGER 1 holding her arm up, showing PASSENGER 2 a broken wrist.
  •	Both passengers were unsure what caused the injury but guessed the boat moving over the water caused some of the items in the boat to bounce and land on PASSENGER 1’s hand.
  •	PASSENGER 1 was siting by a tube, rope, and other items.
  •	They spent four hours in the emergency room in Helena
  •	PASSENGER 1 was diagnosed with a broken wrist and will require surgery later.
  •	PASSENGER 1 required help moving from the boat dock at York Bridge to PASSENGER 2’s vehicle because she does not handle seeing broken bones well and was loosing consciousness.
