RedactedNarrative: On July 3, 2020, at about 5:00 in the afternoon operator was driving his pontoon boat on Norris Lake around Vasper Hollow Access Area. He was pulling his son and daughter on a tube while his wife served as a lookout from their pontoon. Wife heard a loud pop and saw a large tree starting to fall toward the pontoon, at that point she ran toward the back of the pontoon. The tree struck on the front right corner of the pontoon. Wife was struck in the back by limbs and knocked to the floor of the pontoon. Wife''s injuries did not appear to be serious in nature. 
  
   The weather was clear and calm, the tree was dead and fell on its own.
  
  Two TWRA officers responded by boat and two by truck. The boating officers assisted the family and started an investigation by gathering evidence and pictures.  The tree was removed from the pontoon with the help of a couple volunteers who brought a chainsaw. The pontoon was driven to nearby Twin Cove Marina, loaded on a boat trailer and taken to the house.
