RedactedNarrative: At approximately 7:15 pm I Ranger received a call from Effingham County Dispatch regarding a boat incident that had just taken place in the Savannah River. The subjects involved in the incident were unsure of their current location but had advised dispatch that they were up river for Abercorn creek and below Millstone landing. Dispatch had also received information the one subject had received life threatening injuries during the incident. Because of the injuries dispatch advised the operator of the vessel to proceed to Abercorn Landing were EMS was standing by. After receiving all this information I notified Sergeant of the incident and we responded to Abercorn Landing.
   
  Upon arriving at Abercorn Landing Sergeant and myself were met by Rincon Fire Chief. Chief stated that the victim had sustained several serious injuries and that he had been air lifted to Savannah for treatment. Chief also was able to identify the boat operator and the other two occupants that were onboard the vessel when the incident took place. At that time Sgt. and I began interviewing the boat operator. Operator stated that they had been out Alligator hunting when the boat struck a sandbar and Occupant was ejected, the boat then ran over Occupant while he was in the water. This statement was also echoed by the other two occupants of the vessel. All parties involved completed a witness
  statement at the scene.
   
  Later the evening Operator, two South Carolina DNR officers, and myself returned to area of the river where the incident took place. Operator was able to show us the general area but was unsure of the exact location because of the tidal change. Operator also stated that when the boat had struck the sandbar they had been in about the middle of the river. With this information I was able to determine that the incident had taken place in the waters of the state of Georgia. All information, witness statements, and the vessel its self was turned over to Corporal with the Critical Incident Reconstruction Team. 
   
  It was determined that the vessel had struck the sandbar located at global positioning system coordinates: latitude 032 degrees, 15.75 minutes North, longitude 081 degrees 8.8 minutes West. The exact point of impact could not be determined due to low water visibility.
