RedactedNarrative: V1, PWC,  traveling at approximately 35mph, was going over another vessel's wake.  As V1 went over wake, operator accidentally hit gas and went into mangroves at mouth of N.Sound Creek Largo Sound. Operator and passenger were taken to shore by other vessel and subsequently transported to hospital for treatment of injuries.
  
  I responded to Mariners Hospital and met with operator who had a laceration to his chin, and multiple abrasions to his legs and arms, which he stated he received from driving V1, a PWC, into the mangroves.
  
  Occupant was on a backboard and had on a neck brace.  He complained of neck and back pain.  He also had abrasions to his legs, arms, and chest.   
  
  I asked Operator what happened.  He told me he was driving V1 with his son on back and was going to go around a boat going through a mangrove channel.  He realized he couldn't pass it so he went over its' wake behind the vessel.  The pwc went up high and when it came down he accidentally hit the gas and then went into the mangroves.  He said he was traveling at about 35 mph before the crash. 
  
  Operator said he launched the pwc at Key Largo Campground  101mm Oc. Key Largo.  He said he was not familiar with the area.   He had been there before, about 3 months ago, on a friends boat and the friend was the driver.   He also said he has less than 10 hours experience on this pwc and does not own or operate any other vessels.   
  
  Operator told me they walked out on the mangroves and were picked up by the boat that had gone in front of them, but turned around to help.
