Vessel 1 was heading northeast toward the bridge while on plane when the Operator of Vessel 1 reported that the water depth went from significantly deep to approximately 2 feet deep in a short period of time.  As a result of the reduction in depth the outdrive on Vessel 1 struck the sandbar (the reason for the reduction in depth) causing the outdrive to crack and Vessel 1 to begin taking on water.  An Occupant aboard Vessel 1 was transported to the hospital for an ankle injury as a result of the incident as well.
