On 8-04-12 at approximately 11:51, Operator was driving his boat when another motorboat passed him at a high rate of speed. He saw the wake from the other boat and tried to head into it safely. Instead, the wake hit the boat at approximately a 45 degree angle and flipped the boat. Operator and Occupant fell out of the boat. The motor broke off of the boat and into the water; however, it was attached to a rope, so it continued running. Operator grabbed the side of the boat and was able to kill the motor with the kill switch on the steering handle. Occupant was cut on the top of the knee when he fell into the water. He was sent to the hospital and received seven stitches. Both individuals were wearing life jackets at the time of the incident and no alcohol was being used.
