Vessel 1 was headed north towards the dam just before the no wake buoys under the 224 bridge.  As the Operator of Vessel 1 slowed prior to entering the no wake zone, another vessel in front of Vessel 1 also slowed for the no wake zone.  The wake from the second vessel (which was to starboard of Vessel 1) came into contact with the bow of Vessel 1 at the same time that the wake from a third vessel (to port of Vessel 1 as it left the no wake zone) also came into contact with Vessel 1.  The two wakes connected with the bow of Vessel 1 at approximately the same time, causing the bow of Vessel 1 to rise and drop dramatically.  The passengers aboard Vessel 1 were jarred and shaken, and the Victim (sitting in one of the bow seats) rose out of her seat and came down abruptly, compressing her spine.  The Victim was transported to the Bonner Road Ramp where she was tended to by Emergemcy Services.
