Police are continuing their investigation concerning the tragic jet-ski accident that left Usher's former stepson Kyle Glover in critical condition, and now, a new detail has been revealed.

According to an incident report obtained by E! News, the driver of the watercraft has been identified as family friend Jeffrey S. Hubbard.

Melissa Cummings of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources tells E! News, "The entire incident in question is under investigation, which includes Mr. Hubbard. We are not currently speculating on what charges might be filed."

The incident report lists Hubbard as the watercraft operator and confirms that no alcohol was involved. It also states that charges are pending.

"On 07/06/12, at approximately 1525 hours, a personal watercraft being operated by Jeffrey S. Hubbard ran over 2 juveniles being towed on an inner tube by a pontoon boat," the report's description of events stated. "Both children were life-flighted to Egleston Children's Hospital of Atlanta, one with a serious head injury. This incident occurred in the mouth of Big Creek, Lake Lanier, Hall County."

According to Department of Natural Resources Sgt. Mike Burgamy, Tameka Foster's son and an unidentified 15-year-old girl were apparently sitting in an inner tube that was being pulled by a boat on the lake, when they were struck in the head by a jet ski being driven by a 38-year-old man.
