 ON FRIDAY JUNE 16, 2023, UNION COUNTY DISPATCH RECEIVED A 9-1-1 CALL REGARDING A MALE THAT WAS INJURED ON BROOKVILLE RESERVOIR WHILE WATER SKIING. THE CALLER REPORTED THEY WERE AT THE KENT'S HARBOR MARINA AND GAS DOCK AND WERE WAITING FOR EMS ARRIVAL.     
        A UNION COUNTY DEPUTY AND EMS ARRIVED ON SCENE PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL AND SPOKE WITH THE INJURED PARTY AND THE OPERATOR OF THE WATERCRAFT. THE INJURED PARTY WAS TRANSPORTED TO REID HOSPITAL IN RICHMOND FOR FURTHER MEDICAL TREATMENT.     
        ONCE I ARRIVED, I SPOKE WITH THE OPERATOR WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD BEEN SKIING ON THE WATER JUST SOUTH OF THE KENT'S HARBOR AREA (ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BROOKVILLE RESERVOIR) WHEN THE SKIER FELL OFF ONTO HIS RIGHT RIBS. THE SKIER RETURNED TO SKIING AND FELL OFF AGAIN, HITTING THEIR RIGHT RIBS. OPERATOR TOLD ME THAT THEY CONTINUED ABOUT THEIR DAY FOR A SHORT WHILE LATER DUE TO NO COMPLAINT OF PAIN OR INJURY AT THE TIME. OPERATOR SAID THAT AFTER AN HOUR OR SO, THE SKIER STARTED TO COMPLAIN OF RIB PAIN AND MADE CONTACT WITH UNION COUNTY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.     
        THE INJURED SKIER WAS INJURED. AFTER BEING CHECKED OUT BY EMS, INJURED HAD SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HIS RIGHT RIBS. THEY ADVISED HIS RIBS HAD BECOME SEPARATED AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. EMS DID NOT BELIEVE HIS RIBS WERE CRACKED OR BROKEN AT THE TIME.     
        OPERATOR TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD BEEN ON THE WATER SINCE 17:00 HOURS AND THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AROUND 17:30 HOURS.  
        OPERATOR SAID HE HAD TAKEN BOATER EDUCATION APPROXIMATELY 9 YEARS PRIOR ONLINE BUT WAS UNCERTAIN WHAT HIS EDUCATION NUMBER WAS. HE SAID HE HAD APPROXIMATELY 100 PLUS HOURS OF BOAT OPERATION IN HIS LIFETIME.     
        THE WATER TEMPERATURE AT THE TIME WAS 74 DEGREES, WITH THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE BEING 72 DEGREES.     
        I ASKED OPERATOR IF HE HAD CONSUMED ANY ALCOHOL THROUGHOUT THE DAY. HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD NOT. NO SIGNS OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION OR IMPAIRMENT WAS OBSERVED ON OPERATOR.  
        I DOCUMENTED THE WATERCRAFT AS A WHITE AND TAN TIGE 24-FOOT RUNABOUT WITH INDIANA REGISTRATION.     
        I OBTAINED THE TWO OTHER PASSENGER'S INFORMATION AS: PASSENGERS 1 AND 2.     
        I INFORMED OPERATOR A REPORT WOULD BE GENERATED DUE TO THE INCIDENT INVOLVING A WATERCRAFT AND PROVIDED HIS WITH MY CONTACT INFORMATION IF ANYTHING ADDITIONAL WAS NEEDED.
