RedactedNarrative: On 07-30-21 at 1754hrs I was contacted by Ofc. 1 and advised of a boat accident victim on the Kendall trail along the Youghiogheny river south of Friendsville. I started my shift and arrived (in NRP#212) at the Kendall trail at 1811hrs, and contacted OPERATOR 1, and his wife. OPERATOR 1 stated that he had dislocated his left shoulder whiles he was maneuvering his kayak through a hydraulic just above the National Falls rapid.  OPERATOR 1 indicated while executing a brace maneuver to line up correctly for the upcoming rapid is when the dislocation occurred. OPERATOR 1 wife drove OPERATOR 1 to Garrett Regional Medical Center in their private vehicle following my patrol vehicle. 
         We arrived at Garrett Regional Medical Center and I interviewed OPERATOR 1 to obtain further information contained in this report regarding the extent of his injury, and vessel information. OPERATOR 1 stated that there was no damage to the vessel or other property, and that he had made arrangements for another boater to retrieve his vessel from the National Falls area. Medical staff confirmed that OPERATOR 1's left shoulder was back in correct alignment, provided him with an arm sling, and pain medication. I cleared the hospital approximately 2100hrs. All events occurred in Garrett County Maryland.
