On 6/30/10 at approx. 1750hrs operator was operating a pwc in the area of the no wake zone at canyon lake. She was traveling over 40mph and had a friend seated on the back. She was traveling south and allegedly crossed over the wake of a boat that had previously passed in the opposite direction. While crossing the wake, she lost control causing both her and occupant to be thrown from the pwc. During the fall operator said she did not hit anything however she felt an intense pain in her right thigh. She and Occupant were in the water for approx. 10 minutes trying to swim to shore. witness witnessed the incident and told subject2 who is a firefighter that the 2 people in the water looked like they hit the water pretty hard. They pulled up anchor and made their way over to the two and assisted. It was quickly determined that operator had a fractured femur. Operator was placed on the stern of subject2s boat. Subject2 began assessing her while witness drove the boat to the marina. Operator was subsequintly flown to scottsdale osborne hospital by air evac 8 with non life threatening injuries. Nothing further by this deputy.
