RedactedNarrative: On 07-02-19 at approximately 1530hrs Victim was tubing behind vessel MD-0187-AZ on Deep Creek Lake near the Dam. The tube he was riding struck a wake created by Vessel MD-0187-AZ, causing Victim to collide with the water fracturing a rib on his left side. 
  
     On 07-03-19 at approximately 0930hrs Victim was taken to Garrett Regional Medical Center by his Father. The examination by medical staff revealed that Victim had sustained a broken rib on his left side. Victim was treated and released for his fractured rib. It was also at this time that I contacted operator. Operator stated that the incident occurred on Deep Creek Lake in the area between the dam and Skipper's Point. Operator stated that they were traveling east and turning to the south when the tube struck the wake generated by MD-0187-AZ. This caused Victim to be thrown from the tube.
  
     I also interviewed two people who were observers in the boat at the time of the incident. Both stated that the incident occurred when the tube struck the wake causing Victim to collide with the water. I then contacted the owner of the vessel by phone. She provided me with insurance information for the vessel. She advised that Operator had permission to operate the vessel and could show me where the vessel was docked and provide additional vessel information. 
  
  Operator there provided me with the vessels information, was able to produce required safety equipment, and after some difficulty with the starter show that the vessel was able to shift into forward and reverse. No citations were issued and all events occurred in Garrett County Maryland. I cleared the incident on 07-03-19 at 1540hrs.
