On February 23, 2023, at approximately 18:50 hrs. I, Cpl. was notified of a boating incident that occurred in Muscogee County on Lake Oliver by Sgt.. I contacted Muscogee County Dispatch, and they advised me that two juvenile subjects were involved in a Personal Watercraft (PWC) incident. Dispatch advised that a juvenile male and female riding on a PWC had struck a boat dock, with injuries and Emergency Personnel were en route. 

He stated that a young male and female had just left by ambulance, en route to Piedmont Medical Center Midtown. He said that both individuals were alert. We were met by a neighbor,  who stated that he would walk us to the backyard to see the incident scene and speak with the homeowners. I spoke to the homeowner and his wife. 

The wife stated that she was in the kitchen facing the lake when she heard a loud crash. When she went outside to investigate, she saw a young male and female walk off her dock. The male was in a lot of pain grasping at his stomach. The male vomited twice before collapsing. The female seemed in better physical condition but disoriented. She stayed with them until Emergency Services arrived. She stated that the male was conscious the whole time but seemed to be in great pain…
