On 04/09/2023 at approximately 1557 hours I was dispatched to a boating accident with injuries in the Main Bay at Canyon Lake within the Tonto National Forest. 

Prior to dispatch MCSO Deputies were in the Canyon Lake Aid station when Deputies witnessed a small jet boat make contact with a large wake. As the boat made contact with the wake, the front end of the boat broke off and the boat then split into two pieces. The single occupant/driver of the boat was ejected approximately 10-15 feet into the air landing in the water. 

MCSO Deputies arrived on scene via Sheriff''s patrol boats and made contact with the male occupant who was sitting on the transom of another boat who was assisting. 

The male advised his left leg, arm and back was hurting him. 

On interview with Subject1 he stated he did not know what happened. Subject1 told me he only remembered seeing the front of his boat coming towards him and then flying though the air. 

Deputy was able to provide the following coordinates as to where the boat wreckage is believed to be: 33.53873 -111.42884. 

Subject1 was transported to Banner Desert Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. 

Per Subject1s request Deputy contacted his family(Father) and advised him of the accident and Subject1s whereabouts. 

Nothing further from this Deputy.
