RedactedNarrative: On 07/16/2022, at about 2:30 p.m., the vessel was operated on Lake Roosevelt, North of the Northgorge Campground, located near the town of Northport WA in Stevens County.
  
  According to Law Enforcement, the vessel, operated by Operator, was heading north on Lake Roosevelt at approximately 35 mph. Operator apparently struck a submerged object (stick or log) causing steering components to separate. This caused the outboard motor to make an abrupt sharp left turn causing all the vessel occupants to be thrown into the right side of the boat’s interior causing multiple blunt force injuries. No one was sent overboard, no capsizing of vessel. Four of the five passengers received needed treatment more than first aid, three were admitted to the hospital.
