A 23 yr old man was operating a pwc at cruising speed, on Norris Lake in the Davis Creek area.  He was travelling in a southward direction attempting to pass under the Old Middlesboro Hwy bridge and struck the concrete cross beam with his head and upper body.  His body took the brunt of the impact with no visible damage to the pwc.   He was knocked off the pwc and the pwc then coasted to a stop.
