RedactedNarrative: At approximately 19:00, on june 11, 2017, operator was operating a 23' 6” seminole sf236cc vessel and traveling west on the icw near the mouth of goose creek in carteret county.  Operator had 1 male passenger and 2 female passengers on board.  Conditions were calm and clear with a moderate breeze.  Vessel traffic was light.
  
  Operator was traveling back to emerald isle boat ramp from shackleford banks when an oncoming 40' long sport fishing vessel passed him on his starboard side throwing a large wake in operator's direction. Operator slowed his vessel speed to about 15-20 mph and entered the wake at an approximate 45-degree angle.  Subject1 was seated on a larger cooler located immediately behind the leaning post of the vessel.  As operator's vessel entered the wake, she fell off the cooler and struck her head on the portside gunwale.  She reportedly had drank a large amount of alcohol that day and was either asleep or sitting with her eyes closed at the time operator's vessel entered the wake.  She does not remember what occurred at the time of the incident.
  
  Operator continued to the emerald island boat ramp and on arrival had a bystander call emergency medical services as Subject1 was hurting and in a dazed/confused state and occasionally not responsive to or seemingly unaware of questions she was being asked. 
   
  I was at the boat ramp when operator arrived and observed the activity around operator's vessel.  Upon approaching the vessel and assisting Subject1, i noticed all the vessel occupants including the operator had been drinking alcohol.  Upon further investigation, operator was arrested for bwi.  Subject1 was transported to the carteret health care emergency room and treated for concussion related symptoms.  She was released from treatment that night.
