On 05/14/2023 at approximately 1618 hours, I, Game Warden responded to a boating incident that occurred on Lake Lanier in the Chattahoochee River. Upon arrival at the victim's house, I spoke with the son and daughter-in-law who both stated they were heading in from the rain whenever the boat hit a wake which resulted in Victim hitting the back of his head on the gunwale on the port side of the boat. Victim sustained a laceration to the back of his head. The family made it back to their house and met Hall County EMS and Fire. Victim was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center for his injury. I spoke with Victim at the hospital and he stated the boat hit a wake which caused him to hit his head on the side of the boat. No damage was observed on the vessel.
