RedactedNarrative: While talking to the occupant I observed a visible contusion and abrasion on her forehead as well as several abrasions on her arms. 
  
  The Occupant, Subject1, Stated that her Fiance was the operator of the vessel, a white in color Sea Doo jet boat, and that they were headed up river. Subject1 stated that they were a couple bends up river, when another vessel, a personal watercraft or PWC, was coming down river on the Georgia side. Subject1 said that because of the PWC being on the Georgia side, Operator hugged the Florida side of the river in order to pass the PWC. 
  
  In doing this she stated that some how their vessel started to spin and was perpendicular to the river itself. Then she said that when it spun sideways, there was a tree overhanging on the Florida side of the river that their vessel slammed into. Subject1 said that she stuck her arm up to the branch to "protect" herself. This is what she believes to have hurt her arm. Then she stated that the limb hit Operator in the head knocking him out she believed. The limb itself hit them in a, "clothes line", method she said. 
  
  After making contact with the limb, Subject1 stated that it was then when Operator, while being knocked out, pushed the throttle wide open. This shot them across the River onto the Georgia side, hitting the bank and throwing Operator out of the vessel. 
  
  Subject1 said it was then she got out of the vessel and went to Operator, who was still unconscious to her knowledge, and picked him up by his life jacket and held his head and face out of the water. She then said after picking his head out of the water that Operator started making groaning sounds. Subject1 stayed with Operator until one of the people in their group, who was on a PWC in front of them, turned around after he realized that they were not behind him anymore. 
  
  This PWC operator helped hold Operator's head above the water. 
  
  It was then another PWC operator came by and gave Subject1 a ride back to Trader's Hill landing in order to call for help. 
  
  
  
  An off Duty Charlton County Deputy and paramedic hopped into a Jon boat with a good Samaritan at the landing with a back board received from EMS on Trader's Hill and responded to incident site. Subject4 loaded Operator onto the backboard with the aid of other people on scene and they transported Operator back to the landing where EMS was standing by. 
  
  Operator was in the Ambulance upon my arrival. Operator was transported to Shands Hospital in Jacksonville Florida to obtain further treatment.
  
  Myself and CPL, responded to the incident location by vessel to obtain information pertaining to the crash and needed information for report. FWC officers towed Operator's vessel back to Trader's Hill for further processing and information. 
  
  After obtaining all the needed information, the vessel was turned over to family members at Trader's Hill. 
  
  FWC officer, who was the responding officer to Shand's Hospital, provided us with this statement about Operator, 
  
  "On 7/4/2021 at approximately 5:30 p.m. I went to Shand’s Hospital to meet with Operator.
