RedactedNarrative: On February 21st, 2023, at approximately 1530 hours Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was patrolling the stubbs boat ramp off of US 27.  At that time, a male subject approached my vehicle and informed me of a vessel. I then followed him to the scene north on the levee that runs parallel to the main canal.  Approximately one quarter mile north on the levee, there was a Stroker bass boat that was completely on the embankment on the east side. PAX 1 explained to me that he was the passenger on the vessel. He stated OP1 was the operator of the vessel traveling south on the canal at about 40-50 mph when they saw two alligators. At that time, OP1 had made a sharp right turn in order to avoid the alligators in which the vessel hit the embankment. PAX 1 informed me there were no injuries and voluntarily filled out a written statement.
  OP1 then walked from the boat ramp to our location at the scene. OP1 stated that he was the operator and owner of the vessel and that he was not injured.  He also stated he was traveling south on the canal and took a sharp right to avoid two alligators, possibly causing a chime walk. He stated he was operating at about 40 mph.
