At approximately 1700 hours. Cpl. and I responded to a boating incident on Lake Seminole about ¼ mile north of Flint River Heights boat landing. It was determined that a female passenger aboard the 19 ft Stingray lost her balance and fell due to a wake from another vessel while they were docked. 

The passengers were in the process of loading up and the vessel was not moving. She fell while trying to take her seat at the front of the vessel. When she fell, she landed on her back and coccyx causing a compression fracture to her L1 lumbar vertebrae. 

The operator and the other two passengers attempted to stabilize her in the bottom of the vessel and traveled south to Flint River Heights boat landing. This is where EMS, Cpl. and I met them. We assisted EMS with loading her into the ambulance and she was transported to Bainbridge Memorial Hospital. Cpl. and I arrived at the ER at 7:14 p.m. and had her sign a medical release form. I returned to Bainbridge Memorial Hospital on August 4, 2023, to pick up her medical records from the incident.

	The operator and two other passengers were uninjured. The vessel was also undamaged.
