WITNESS STATED THAT THE OPERATOR WAS ATTEMPTING TO DOCK VESSEL WHEN THE SOUND OF THE MOTOR REVING UP CAUSED THE WITNESS TO LOOK UP AND SEE THE VESSEL RAMMED INTO A SEA WALL.  A PASSENGER WAS STANDING IN THE FRONT OF THE VESSEL WITH A LINE TO TIE THE VESSEL TO THE DOCK WHEN IT HIT THE SEA WALL AND THE PASSENGER WAS KNOCKED TO THE FLOOR OF THE VESSEL.  THEY WERE BOTH TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL. THE OPERATOR STATED LATER THAT THE VESSEL HAD NOT BEEN RUNNING VERY WELL SO HE HAD PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL MODE TO GIVE THE VESSEL GAS. THE NEUTRAL BUTTON POPPED OUT AND THE VESSEL WENT IN GEAR CAUSING THE VESSEL TO HIT THE SEA WALL.
CROPWELL
