On Monday May 29, 2023 w/f, was operating a 2016 Malibu Wakesetter ski style boat on Lake Cypress Springs in Franklin County, Texas. O1 had minimal experience operating this boat and while at what she described as idle speed attempted to go under the middle section of the HWY 115 bridge headed in a westward direction. O1 stated as the front of the boat went under the bridge the boat arch (roll bar) made contact with the side of the bridge and began to push the boat arch backwards into the windshield. O1 stated the boat eventually was forced to turn to the left turning her around facing the direction in which she started from and she drove out from under the bridge. However, the boat arch was completely dislodged from the boat falling backwards towards the engine compartment and eventually over the back of the boat and into the lake. There were no injuries.
