On september 2, 2012, at approximately 3:00pm, operator was driving his family's bow rider boat with a total of 6 people on board. They were on falls lake and were approaching the new light road bridge from the se heading towards hwy 50. As they approached the no wake zone at the bridge, a large cabin cruiser boat was leaving the no wake zone in the opposite direction. As the larger boat accelerated past, it created a large wake that operator had to cross. As his boat came down over the wake, his wife was thrown to the floor. As a result, she fractured her arm. operator called 911 and then drove the boat to the hwy 50 state park boat access are where he contacted ems and his wife was transported to the hospital for attention. 

In my opinion, this accident was caused by the poor crossing of a large wake. There is no indication that drugs or alcohol were a factor and no charges have been filed.
