RedactedNarrative: On August 16, 2020 at approximately 1:30 pm a personal injury occurred on Clear Lake involving 3 individuals being pulled on a tube.  As the vessel, operated by OPERATOR 1, traveled in a NE direction they encountered a set of large "boat chop" waves from different directions.  As the tube hit the waves it was turned over tossing the occupants on top of one another.  TUBER 1, the middle occupant, was crushed between the two other occupants causing injury to her right shoulder area dislocating her collar bone.
  Victim TUBER 1 stated that she didn’t remember a lot, except occupant who was sitting to her right landing on top of her and then her shoulder hurt. She was basically “sandwiched” between the other two occupants on the tube.  TUBER 1 said that her collar bone had been dislocated from the breast bone and had taken surgery to reattach and hold in place.  
  Boat Observer stated that from her position in the boat as the observer she saw the tube hit a large wave, turn and come down on its side.  She stated that the girls piled on top of each other when they hit the water, with TUBER 1 being in the middle.  She could tell that TUBER 1 was hurt as soon as she came up and they rushed to get her in the boat.  She was then taken to the local Mercy Hospital emergency room.  The other two girls on the tube suffered some bumps and bruises and did not seek any medical treatment.  All individuals on the tube were wearing lifejackets.
