RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, August 1, 2015, I Officer recieved a call from Officer at around 1830 hours of a boating incident that occurred around the River Heights area of Kentucky Lake in Hardin County, TN.  Upon arrival it was determined that two vessels were involved in the incident.  Victim was transported to Hardin Medical Emergency Room due to a head injury she recieved.  
  
  According to statements from operators, occupants, and witnesses, the two parties were together in the Wolf Island area.  The two vessels were being operated by Operator1 (vessel 1) and Operator2 (vessel 2).  The two vessels made impact around the southern end of Wolf island, ejecting Victim.  Operator1 then left his vessel voluntarily to rescue Victim.  Operator1s ignition safety lanyard was not attached therefore his unmanned vessel began to make circles.  A concerned citizen then stopped that vessel by allowing it to run up on his vessel (see notes)
  
  A ski boat ahead of the two parties observed this incident and turned around to rescue subject and Victim from the water.  another jumped in the water to help them and subject3 threw them life preservers.
  
  Operator2, the operator of vessel 2 states that his vessel was left inoperable.  Operator2s tiller handle on his motor was broken, therefore he states that it took him several hours to get back to the boat ramp.  Operator2 states that this damage took place after vessel1 jumped his vessel (V2).  states he ducked his head down to avoid being hit by the boat or the spinning propeller.  
  
  V2 occupant who was in vessel 2 recieved injuries to her left side that included broken ribs and a collapsed lung.  These injuries were later determined several hours after the incident when V2 occupant was life flighted to Regional One Medical Center in Memphis.  When Operator2 was asked why he did not call for help, he explained "my boat was left with a broken tiller handle so all i had was idle speed so after they all had left us out there, I then headed towards boat ramp at idle speed, approximately 1.5 to 1.75 hours later, I arrived at boat ramp loaded boat up, we waited around another 45 minutes at that point we headed home."  He continued to say that V2 occupant and himself did not think that her injuries were that severe.  Operator2 contacted the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency the next morning of the incident.
  
  Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 had damage to each of them.  Vessel 1 damages were on the starboard side of the vessel.  Vessel 2 had damage to the port side and a broken tiller handle on the motor as mentioned earlier. 
  
  Vessel 1 was seized by TWRA officers at the scene of the incident.  Vessel 2 was seized by TWRA officers Sunday, August 2, 2015 at Operator2s residence.  Baseline/Offset Evidence Documentation Measurements were conducted on both vessels by Officers.  Both vessels were returned to Operator1 and Operator2.
