According to witnesses on OPerator1 was "cutting donoughts" driving vessel in circles at a high rate of speed.  Witnesses said he was doing this 5-10ft. from the back of their boats.  They said they started hollering at him and he continued to do this for several minutes.  They feel like he lost control and ran the boat aground at 10-20mph.  The force of hitting the beach threw occupant from her seat next to the operator forward into the corner of the windshield which cut off the top half of her left ear and she was thrown into the floor in the bow of the boat.  He was thrown into the floor under the steering wheel.  Witnesses said it took 6-8 people to get the boat off the beach.

According to Operator1 and the group that was with them that day, (their friends) he just hit the beach too hard on purpose because his boat had drifted off 3 times earlier that day.  I did tell him that witnesses had reported him doing the donoughts and he then said that he did but he did not loose control, he intentionally was going to the beach and just went in a little too fast.
