RedactedNarrative: On 7/3/16 at 1430 hours, a vessel operated was pulling a tube near Channel Marker C3 in Craddock Creek portion of Smith Mountain Lake.  Operator and the other passengers on board observed two vessels travelling north creating large wakes. 
  
  Operator operated the vessel toward the wakes and struck both wakes.  A passenger sitting on her legs in the front seating compartment, was thrown into the air and landed on her lower back when she struck the floor. She was taken back to Operator's dock and transported to Bedford Memorial hospital by Hannah Green.  She was released from the hospital at 1700 hours with compression fractures to Lumbar L2.
