RedactedNarrative: On Saturday June 10, 2017 at approximately 1530 hrs, subject was operating a personal watercraft on the Intracoastal Waterway in Pender County.  Subject2 was a passenger on the PWC.  They were heading north on the ICW going back toward Lanier's Campground in Surf City where they were spending the weekend.  When their PWC was in the vicinity of ICW mile marker 92, they came up on some wakes created by the considerable vessel traffic that day.  
  
  Operator stated that he was traveling approximately 30 mph and saw the wakes at the last second and made a very slight turn to the right.  As the PWC struck the wakes, both he and Occupant were thrown from the PWC into the water.  Operator was thrown to the right and Occupant was thrown to the left.  Both subjects were wearing their PFDs and Operator was wearing his lanyard attached to the kill switch on the PWC.  Operator was uninjured.  However, Occupant thought that she had broken her left arm and possibly her left ankle.  Two people were in another vessel heading north and observed the two subjects being ejected from the PWC and came to their assistance until EMS arrived.  Occupant was transported to New Hanover Regional Medical Center ER.  After being evaluated, it was determined that she did not have any broken bones and only had sprains and bruises and was released shortly therafter.
