ON 06/18/2023, AT AROUND 3:53 PM, I, TEXAS GAME WARDEN RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE LLANO COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE DISPATCH REGARDING AN INCIDENT INVOLVING A PWC ON LAKE BUCHANAN BETWEEN LLANO COUNTY PARK AND BLACK ROCK PARK.  ONCE I ARRIVED ON SCENE AT THE BEACH AREA BETWEEN THE TWO PARKS I SAW A MALE WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED, SITTING ON A YAMAHA WAVERUNNER THAT WAS PULLED UP NEAR THE WATERS EDGE.  He COULD NOT GET OFF THE PWC AND WALK DUE TO INJURIES THAT HE HAD SUSTAINED TO HIS RIGHT LEG, ANKLE, AND FOOT AFTER BEING EJECTED FROM THE PWC AFTER HE HAD COLLIDED WITH A WAVE.  HE WAS CARRIED TO THE SHORE AND SEATED IN A CHAIR BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT WERE LOCATED ON SCENE.  HE STATED THAT HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO RETURN TO THE BEACH LOCATION WITH HIS TWO PASSENGERS WHEN HE HIT A LARGE WAVE THAT CAUSED ALL OF THE PASSENGERS ON THE PWC TO BE EJECTED FROM THE VESSEL INTO THE WATER.  HE WAS TREATED BY BUCHANAN DAM VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT AND EMS BEFORE BEING TRANSPORTED TO BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE HOSPITAL IN MARBLE FALLS, TX.  STATEMENTS WERE TAKEN FROM THE MALE AND FEMALE PASSENGERS.  A FOLLOW UP WAS CONDUCTED AT A LATER DATE WITH HIM, AND HE STATED THAT HE WAS SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY TO REPAIR BROKEN BONES IN HIS ANKLE.  HE WAS FOUND TO BE IN VIOLATION OF BOATER EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS AND A CITATION WAS MAILED TO HIS RESIDENCE.
