RedactedNarrative: On June 5, 2017 at approximately 1530 hours I responded to YMCA Camp Tockwogh, located in Worton, Kent County, Maryland in reference to a boat accident. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of the vessel, Operator who stated that a juvenile female was injured while waterskiing. During the incident there were four other juvenile females on board the vessel. 
  
   Operator explained that Victim had been skiing when she fell into the water. Operator was in the process of bringing the rope with the handle around to Victim at idle or in neutral when the end of the rope reached Victim. That is when she believes that the rope became entangled around Victim’s hand or finger. Shortly thereafter Operator heard Victim scream “my finger!” Operator then radioed for assistance and jumped in the water to swim out to assist Victim. Operator observed a great deal of blood coming from Victim’s right hand while she attempted to stabilize her until the rescue boat arrived. Operator stated that the there was very little waves and there was very little traffic in the area. At the time they were located on the Chesapeake Bay in front of the camp. Operator did state that Victim did have a life jacket on and helmet on her head. The wellness nurse responded to the location to assist in medical treatment until Victim was transported to the hospital.
  
   At approximately 1700 hours I responded to University of Maryland Shore Medical Center at Chestertown to speak with Victim. Victim stated that at the time of the incident she had previously been water skiing. After falling initially the vessel brought the tow line for the vessel back to her. Victim had the line between her legs and she thought she was ready to ski again so she instructed Operator to “go.” After saying this Victim realized that the line was wrapped around her finger and hand. Victim attempted to free herself but since she had already told the vessel to go she didn’t have much time. That is when Victim felt a sharp pain in her finger as the vessel sped up for her to ski. Once she screamed Victim stated that the boat stopped and Operator came to her assistance but she saw there was a lot of blood coming from her right hand that she held above the water. 
  
   While I was at the hospital one of the doctor’s came in to explain to Victim what had occurred to her finger. The doctor explained that while her finger nail was completely intact, she was missing the top part of her finger and bone. 
  
   The hospital and camp notified the parents of Victim as to the incident and all medical actions being taken. This investigation is considered closed.
