RedactedNarrative: On july 4th at approximately 1400 hours a boat accident occurred on the main channel of lake hickory, about 2.5 miles east of the hwy 127 bride. (v1) was operating his 1989 19'' mastercraft tristar 190 ski boat on lake hickory on the main channel near harbortown drive in taylorsville, on the alexander county side of the lake.
   
  (v1) was cruising at approximately 5mph while headed east on lake hickory. V1 encountered a large set of wakes head on across the bow. Each consecutive wake raised the bow higher than the previous until a large wake overtook the bow and caused v1 to capsize. All passengers were wearing life jackets and no one was injured. During the capsizing, damage was sustained to the wake tower of v1 and where it connects to the fiberglass of the hull. 
   
  My investigation showed that no one was at fault and no other vessels or property damage was involved. Alcohol consumption was not a contributing factor to this accident. I found that heavy boat traffic on the lake caused very rough water conditions and larger that normal wakes caused this boat to capsize.
