RedactedNarrative: On may 17, 2015 at approximately 6:00pm, operator and three other adults, including the injured were heading back to tripps boat landing on the icw near shallotte. According to the injured and operator, they were almost to the boat ramp when a larger vessel met and passed them. The wake produced by the passing vessel pushed the small 14 foot aluminum boat operator was operating over into a channel marker. Victim, who had been seated beside operator at the rear of the tiller drive operated vessel, fell over the back of the vessel when it made contact with the channel marker. It appears that the propeller struck victim and caused an injury to her forehead above the right eye and to her left arm. Victim was pulled into the vessel and rushed to the shore where ems was called and she was then transported to new hanover regional medical center for treatment. Based upon witness statements and statements from the operator and victim, it appears that this incident was a result of the wake pushing the small vessel into the channel marker which resulted in victim falling from the vessel. It also appears that there was not a proper lookout as well, which resulted in the small vessel being too close to an upcoming channel marker upon encountering the large wake. The vessel was equipped with the proper size and amount of life saving devices. However, they were not needed in this particular incident. It does not appear that alcohol or drugs played any role in this incident.
