Vessel 1:
On 9/2/2023 around 1800 a Wakeboard boat with Bow Number and operated by Operator was traveling uplake towards Bullfrog marina, from the Rincon. Around buoy 81 they hit a wake caused by another white cabin boat as the boat hit the wake the passenger lift up over her seat about a foot and came back down striking her wrist on the fiber glass bow of the boat causing a suspected fractured and dislocated wrist. 

Transport: 

Injured was transported to Bullfrog Marina and then drove to the Bullfrog Clinic. 

Narrative:
On 9/2/2023 around 2000 I (Ranger) was checking off dispatch when they called for a possible boat accident report at the clinic. I responded with Ranger. I met with Operator and Injured to follow up on the injury until the clinic arrived and the boat accident report. Clinic provided care and will be doing a report on their end for medical. I began to gather information and suspected no drugs or alcohol involved. When talking to the Operator and the other passengers on the boat they were only able to tell me that it was a white cabin boat that caused the wake. Operator stated that he estimated 50-100 feet away. No other identifying description on the boat. Due to the lack of evidence of finding the other boat we wont be able to pursue action for the Speed and Prox. 

Medical:
Injured wrist was fractured/broken and not in place. Bullfrog Clinic was able to reset and splint the wrist back into place. 

FOLLOW-UP:
I followed up the boat accident by a boat inspection for safety equipment with all needed/required equipment and making note of Injured seating position. I met the other members/passengers of the boat on the O dock at the marina where I was able to gather all the passengers information and the paperwork for the boat. Operator stated, "We hit a big wake near the rincon and once we hit it I throttled down." He said they were not going that fast. Around 15 mph this lined up with his statement. After gathering all the information on the vessel I spoke with him about the insurance policy number which he stated he would be able to send me a copy at a later time. The insurance will be supplemental later. 

Injured was released from the clinic around 2200.
