RedactedNarrative: On 6/22/2022 at approximately 1810 hours TWRA Wildlife Officers received a call involving a 10-year-old patient that is being flown by helicopter to the hospital due to injuries resulting from a boating accident that took place. Once officers arrived on scene it was learned by an on scene first responder that there were four people on board the vessel. The runabout vessel had two occupants on board and was pulling an innertube with two other parties on board it. 
  
  As the operator was driving the tube around near where the vessel owners dock was located, the operator attempted to get closer to the shore. Once the operator drove closer to the shore, he had realized that he was getting close to his neighbor’s dock and made a sharp left hand turn to avoid that dock. 
  
  As the operator made the sharp left hand turn it caused the tube with two juveniles on board to swing further out over the vessel ‘s right side and carry the path straight for the neighbors dock the operator intended to avoid. 
  
  The two occupants collided with the dock with a 10-year-old passenger colliding with the dock at first then a 17-year-old passenger making contact second. The 10-year-old was knocked unconscious and remained in the water while parties on the shore ran over to tend to the two injured parties. 
  
  Once officers began to interview the operator and witnesses at the hospital the operators statement confirmed what officers were told on scene. An officer interviewed a witness that was on the bank watching the events and had advised the officer that she had taken a video of the incident. The officer viewed the video and it confirmed everything all parties were saying. The witness voluntarily sent the officer the video onto his state issued cell phone for use in the investigation. There were no indicators of impairment detected by officers on the operator of the vessel. The incident occurred in Meigs County on Chickamauga Lake.
