On Saturday, May 27, 2023, I responded to a call about a PWC incident that occurred near Red Top Mountain State Park.  I had received a call earlier about the same two vessels driving dangerously and nearly striking children on a tube.  I responded on scene as Bartow County FD was treating the victim.  

According to the operators of both vessels, Vessel 2 was traveling towards Bethany Bridge boat ramp going left and right attempting to traverse waves, Vessel 1 was traveling behind Vessel 2 and off to the port side.

  The operator of vessel 1 became distracted by a wave and struck the port side of Vessel 2 making impact with the victims left leg.  He suffered a compound fracture to the left femur.
