RedactedNarrative: ON 7/7/2022 AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30 PM, I, INDIANA CONSERVATION OFFICER OVERHEARD STEUBEN COUNTY DEPUTY ASK DISPATCH IF THE SUBJECT WAS OUT OF THE WATER YET. DISPATCH ADVISED "THEY WILL BE BACK TO SHORE IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES". I THEN ASKED WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE ADVISED DISPATCH HAD SENT FIRE AND EMS PERSONNEL TO A BOAT ACCIDENT. DEPUTY ADVISED HE WAS EN ROUTE. I ADVISED DEPUTY THAT I WOULD BE EN ROUTE ONCE I GOT OFF LAKE JAMES.   
          UPON ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED THE VICTIM BEING LOADED INTO THE AMBULANCE TO BE TAKEN TO PARKVIEW REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER. I THEN SPOKE WITH OP1'S FATHER. OP1 FATHER ADVISED HE OBSERVED OP1 OPERATE A 2019 SEA DOO PWC BEARING INDIANA REGISTRATION PAST THE HOUSE. OP1 FATHER ADVISED OP1 THEN CONTINUED AROUND BROWN'S POINT. DURING THIS TIME, OP1 WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40-50 MPH. OP1 FATHER THEN RECEIVED A CALL A FEW MINUTES LATER FROM OP1. OP1 ADVISED HE HAD HIT A LARGE WAVE DRIVING AROUND BROWN'S POINT AND IT EJECTED HIM. OP1 HAD COLLIDED WITH THE WAVE WHILE TURNING. THE COLLISION CAUSED OP1'S LEFT LEG TO SLAM DOWN ONTO THE PWC CAUSING IT TO BREAK. OP1 FATHER THEN GOT INTO A SEPARATE BOAT AND DROVE OUT TO ASSIST OP1 AND THE PWC TO SHORE.   
          OP1 WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO PARKVIEW REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER. ONCE AT PARKVIEW, I CALLED OP1 FATHER TO SEE WHAT THE EXTENT OF OP1'S INJURIES WERE. OP1 FATHER ADVISED OP1 SUFFERED FROM A COMPOUND FRACTURE TO HIS FIBULA AND TIBULA BONES IN HIS LEFT LEG. HOSPITAL STAFF HAD PLACED A CAST ON OP1'S LEG AND PLANNED TO OPERATE ON 7/8/2022.
