Upon arrival, we learned that two PWCs were operating near boat ramp three. The occupant/passenger of boat one jumped off the boat into Canyon Lake. Boat two was operating close by and did not see the passenger of boat one jump off the boat and into the water. The operator of boat two ran over the swimmer striking the back of his head.  The swimmer had blood coming from his head where the boat struck him. Due to the subject having thick braided hair, it was difficult to see any cut/gash. Canyon Lake EMS arrived on scene and evaluated the injured party. The injured party and family refused transport. The family of injured party advised that they would take him to the hospital. The injured party was alert and aware of everything going on.
