RedactedNarrative: On july 13, 2014 at approximately 4:00pm, operator was towing his girlfriend and her daughter on a tube on lake gaston inside six pound creek heading toward jordan creek. Operator said he made a sharp left hand turn around a point off of rocky pointe road. Operator stated that "as he rounded the point, which was less then 200 feet wide, he encountered another boat coming in the opposite direction out of jordan creek". Operator said he adjusted his vessel to avoid the oncoming vessel as well as the vessel's wake. According to operator and other witnesses, the sharp left hand turn combined with the quick adjustment to the left caused the tube in tow to swing wide right then sling shot back to the left. As operator decreased his speed to approximately 10-15 mph and straightened the travel of his boat, the two passengers hit the wake from the other boat and were catapulted off the tube. One of the passengers struck the dock head first and was knocked unconscious. Her life jacket kept her afloat while family members and neighbors rendered assistance. 
  
  victim  was taken to duke hospital where she was treated and released for a laceration to her face, broken cheek bone, and ruptured ear drum. Alcohol was not a factor in the accident. However, operator was charged with negligent operation of a motor vessel due to the small size of the cove where he was towing the passengers and the speed at which he was doing so.
