Vessel #1 was headed upstream on Tellico Lake when they passed a large cruiser headed downstream.  There were also two PWC's operating in the area.  The operator of Vessel #1 was concentrating on the PWC's and didn't notice the large wake they were approaching from the passing cruiser.  The impact from the wake pitched the wounded occupant into the air several feet and then she came down harshly onto the seat injuring her tailbone.  They then transported her to Ft. Loudon Marina so she could be transported to the hospital.
