Single vessel accident due to a grounding. Vessel 1 (V1) was a 38' Cranchi Atlantique cabin motorboat. V1 was traveling on plane at approximately 15-20 knots, westbound in the ICW near the Jupiter Sandbar. The operator of the vessel stated that this was only his second time navigating this body of water. Operator stated that he was closely monitoring his depth gauge, and that it was reading 9 feet and then all the sudden read zero and they struck the Jupiter Sandbar. He ran aground near green channel marker 11. Operator thought he was on the correct side of the green channel marker, but he was on the left side (wrong side). Upon impact to the sandbar, occupants were thrown forward. There were 11 total people on board the vessel, and 4 of those individuals sustained injuries. All injuries are non life threatening at this time. ; 

Victim4 was sitting at the rear of the vessel and upon impact with the sandbar, he was flown forward. He struck and went through a sliding glass window that led to the cabin area of the vessel. Victim4 sustained lacerations to the face, legs, and arms. At the hospital, he was diagnosed with a fractured orbital bone and a c2 cervical fracture. He was transferred to Jupiter Medical Center to St. Mary's in reference to the neck injury. I went to St. Mary's this morning to check on his status and they advised me that he was discharged overnight. ;
