RedactedNarrative: V1 was heading SW out of the pass and hit some boat wakes.  Injured subject was sitting on a cooler infront of the console and compressed her back from the impact of boat wakes.  
  
  Subject1 stated that they were just leaving to go fishing.  He was sitting by Victim on the cooler in front of the center console.  Operator and Subject2 were behind the center console.  Operator was driving the vessel.  They were about half way out of the pass when they hit several boat wakes.  They were going approximately 15-18 knots.  When they hit one of the wakes, Victim yelled, as she felt pain in her back where she has recently had surgery.  She fell onto the deck of the boat.  They called 911 and turned around going to the closest boat ramp.  
  
  EMS put a soft stretcher under her and we lifted her out of the boat and onto a stretcher.  She was checked out by EMS and transported to Bay Medical in Panama City.  Officer arrived and got a written statement from the operator, Operator.  Everyone's statement was the same.   They had all of their safety gear on the vessel.  I did not cite the operator for any violation resulting in the accident.  He did not do anything wrong and did not know she had recently had back surgery.  
  
  I went to Bay Medical to check on Victim.  She was still in a lot of pain but spoke with me about the accident.  She said the same thing that the others stated on the boat.  She also told me she had a Discectomy on March 2, 2022, on L4, L5 and S1.  I spoke with Subject1 again and met him at their vessel at Bayside Marina.  I took pictures of the vessel and registration, see attached.  
  
  On Friday, July 8, 2022, I called Victim to check on her injury.  She stated she has a compression fracture of her L5 vertebrae.  She is walking and has an appointment with her doctor next week.
