RedactedNarrative: On September 16, 2017 at approximately 5:00 pm, Operator was operating the documented vessel Synergy as it was returning from an off-shore fishing trip through Oregon Inlet.  Two people were on the flying deck with Operator, and Subject1 and Victim were inside the cabin at the time of the incident.  Operator was attempting to navigate the rough surf through the shoals outside Oregon Inlet when the vessel got caught on a large rising wave.  
  
  Operator attempted to throttle off the wave when the wave began to break and pushed the vessel sideways.  The vessel rolled to the starboard side when it came off the first wave and was struck by another wave.  
  
  Operator was ejected from the vessel but was able to re-board and place a mayday call to the Coast Guard.  Subject1 attempted to wake Victim, who was sleeping, prior to the impact with the wave, but did not have time.  When the vessel rolled, both Subject1 and Victim were trapped inside the cabin, but were able to be pulled out through a broken window.   All occupants then used their PFDS and voluntarily departed the possibly sinking vessel.  
  
  USCG retrieved all occupants from the water and returned them to USCG Station Oregon Inlet.  Dare Med Flight then picked up Victim and transported her to Norfolk Hospital where she was admitted for multiple lacerations, embedded glass, and a possible concussion.  Three people all travelled to the hospital but were not injured.  T
  
  he vessel then washed ashore where it was later recovered.  There were no mechanical failures and all occupants used their PFDS.
