RedactedNarrative: On 06/24/15, at approximately 10:30 AM, I (CPO) was contacted on my cell phone by a man. Operator informed me that on  06/21/15, at approximately 3:00 PM, he was operating his Four Winns boat (IL7550 KS) north west on the Area Number 1 Outdoor Club''s Pit 1.  He had three passenger''s in his boat and was pulling his wife on skis.  Operator said another boat was traveling slowly west and back east on the lake as well.  He said the boat pulled to the side while heading back east and stopped when he approached and drove past.  Operator said he drove down a ways and began making a left turn.  He said as he was turning his wife''s skis hit the wake left by the other boat earlier and fell.  He said she was wearing competition ski boots and they did not come off.  Operator said Wife was in pain and they pulled her from the water.  They took her back to the beach to the east where she began to go into shock.  Operator contacted Wilmington EMS and they transported Wife to the Morris Hospital where she was treated at the Emergency Room.  Tests revealed Wife had an ankle fracture, 6 posterior calcaneous fractures, and tendon and ligament damage.  They released her the same day to follow up with orthropedic surgeon.  
  
  Operator reported the accident to the Area Number 1 Outdoor Club who informed him he might need to contact the DNR.  On 07/16/15, I was finally able to meet with Operator and inspect his boat and give him a copy of the boat accident report form to mail in.  Operator did not believe the other boat was a contribuiting factor to the accident.  Wife had skied the same lake every weekend for several decades and had never been injured.  They believed the accident was due to the way she landed in the secure competion ski boot.  Operator did not believe the other boat had contributed to his wife''s fall, nor did he have any way of knowing who the other boater was.  No enforcement action was taken in this case.
