  NARRATIVE
  
  On Thursday, July 8, 2021, I, New Mexico State Parks Marine Enforcement Officer, was notified of a boating incident resulting in a broken arm that had happened at Conchas Lake on July 3, 2021.  U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Conchas Dam Fire & Rescue, and N.M. State Police responded to the incident. 
  
  On Saturday, July 31 20211 Victim1 and Passenger 1 were riding on a tube pulled behind a vessel. The vessel was operated by Operator. Also aboard the vessel were Passenger 2 and Passenger 3. At approximately 1:15 p.m. the vessel changed direction, causing the tube to cross the vessel's wake. Upon crossing the wake. both riders were ejected in different directions. Passenger 1 was riding on the side of the tube that hit the wake first. Passenger 1 stated that he is heavier than Injured: therefore, Injured bounced off the tube higher into the air than he did. Injured's resultant impact with the water fractured her left humerus. The vessel and tube were operating in deep water near the center channel south of Rattlesnake Island. Vessel speed was approximately 15-20 m.p.h. Boating traffic in the area was light. Wind speeds were calm. Injured was transported in their vessel back to the USAGE South Recreation Area boat dock. USAGE Ranger then assisted her off the vessel and into an ambulance for transport to Trigg Memorial Hospital in Tucumcari. N.M. Injured stated to me on July 81 2021 that her arm does not require surgery. The vessel is owned by Passenger 1. Passenger 1 stated that he had purchased the vessel within the last 30 days. 
  
  Based on my investigation, I am unable to rule out that (1) the wake created by the vessel contributed to the incident: and (2) that the towed watersport participant(s)'s actions. lack of experience, familiarity or knowledge contributed to the incident. 
  Narrative is based on USAGE incident report (attached) and my telephone interviews with the parties involved. N.M. State Police officer stated to me that he did not generate a report of his involvement in this incident. 
  
  End of Report.
