RedactedNarrative: I, INDIANA CONSERVATION OFFICER #1, RESPONDED TO THE BOAT RAMP AT HONEY CREEK ON LAKE SHAFER IN REFERENCE TO A WOMAN WITH BACK INJURIES SUSTAINED WHILE BOATING ON 6/30/2015. I RECEIVED A CALL AT 12:38 PM FROM WHITE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. I ARRIVED AT HONEY CREEK AND MET WITH THE BOAT AND EMS ON SCENE AT 12:45 PM. THE BOAT THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT WAS A RED 2014 ALUMACRAFT FISHING BOAT (REGISTRATION: INxxxxxx).
  I FIRST SPOKE WITH OPERATOR1, THE OPERATOR OF THE BOAT. I ASKED OPERATOR1 TO DESCRIBE TO ME THE EVENTS THAT HAD TAKEN PLACE LEADING UP TO THE ACCIDENT. OPERATOR1 SAID THAT HE WAS OPERATING THE BOAT NEAR THE INDIANA BEACH AREA. OPERATOR1 THEN SAID THAT THE WATER WAS VERY ROUGH AND HE WAS TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 15 MPH.  OPERATOR1 THEN SAID THAT THEY HIT A LARGE WAVE. OPERATOR1 CLAIMED THAT SUBJECT1, THE INJURED SUBJECT, WAS SITTING ON THE PORT SIDE OF THE BOAT. SUBJECT1 WAS SITTING ON THE ROD BOX NEAR THE STERN OF THE BOAT.  OPERATOR1 STATED THAT WHEN THEY HIT THE WAVE SUBJECT1 WAS THROWN INTO THE AIR AND LANDED BACK ON HER BUTTOCKS. THIS IS WHEN OPERATOR1 STATED THAT SHE HAD SUFFERED THE INJURY. 
  I WAS UNABLE TO SPEAK WITH SUBJECT1 DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE WAS BEING PLACED ON A STRETCHER TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE WHITE COUNTY HOSPITAL. 
  I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH SUBJECT1 ON 6/2/2016 OVER THE PHONE TO VERIFY EVENTS AND LEARN THE FULL EXTENT OF HER INJURIES. SUBJECT1 CONFIRMED THE EVENTS. SUBJECT1 EXPLAINED TO ME OVER THE PHONE THAT SHE HAD SUFFERED FROM 2 COMPRESSION FRACTURES AND HAD SURGERY ON 5/31/2016.
