On the 1st of July 2023 while patrolling Watts Bar Lake myself and Officer were flagged down by individuals on sand island who looked to be in distress. We were informed that a female party was unconscious and needed help. We loaded the female party onto our vessel and advised dispatch to send EMS to the “wide spot” access area on Watts Bar Lake directly across from their location. Officer placed the patient in the recovery position and confirmed that she was breathing but unconscious and provided care for her while we transported her to the boat launch. Once at the boat launch first responders from Meigs County Fire arrived and started providing care. We identified the patient and asked witnesses what had happened. Witnesses stated that they believed she had hit her head and the PWC when she had struck a wave while pulling a tube.
