RedactedNarrative: Vessel one (V1) with one operator and no other occupants traveled east along the Courtney Campbell Causeway. Approached the main span and collided with the west side bridge fender that extends north from the main span of the bridge. The operator of V1 was ejected from the vessel and rescued from the water, unresponsive, by a good samaritan vessels. 
  
  At approximately 1400 hrs V1 launched at the Courntey Campbell Causewayboat ramp, and was on a PWC recreating, wearing a PFD, on Tampa Bay in the area of the Courtney Campbell Causeway for a couple hours. At approximately 1515hrs Operator decided to go with a friend to a local beach bar on the water (Hogans?s Beach). Witness statements suggest that some alcohol may have been consumed while at this bar. V1 left the beach bar at approximately 1600hrs and recreated around Old Tampa Bay to a sand bar located on the north east side of the bay. At approximately 1645 hrs, V1 left the sand and decided to head back towards the boat ramp where he had launched at the Causeway. V1 was traveling east, at a high rate of speed, on the north side of, and parallel to, the Courtney Campbell Causeway. V1 was approximately 100 feet north of the bridge and headed directly towards the bridge fender that extends north guiding vessel traffic under the main span of the bridge. 
  
  At approximately 1658 hrs, V1 collided with the structure of the bridge fender, between the 4th and 5th (when counted from the North) vertical cement supporting structures. The initial impact point was the port bow of V1 with the supporting structure of the fender. V1 had a secondary impact with the starboard side against the vertical cement supporting structure. The operator of V1 was ejected from the PWC, over the steering column and landed face down against the PWC with his face at the point of the bow and his feet hooked on the steering, causing serious bodily injury. 
  
  After the accident, V1 was disabled and entangled in the bridge fender. Passing vessel wake dislodged the vessel and the operator from the bridge fender. V1 then floated away from the bridge, allowing the operator to fall freely down the bow of the PWC and float face down in the water with a PFD on. A good samaritan vessels in the area retrieved the operator from the water and took him to shore at Courtney Campbell Causeway boat ramp. Emergency personnel (911) was notified and transported the operator to St. Joseph's Hospital where he was treated for right sided fractured ribs 1, 3, and 4, collapsed right lung, fractured right scapula, fractured pelvis pubis, fractured cervical vertebrae C3, C6, and C7, and various lacerations and abrasions. Medical blood was drawn and analyzed for the presence of alcohol and drugs. These tests were subpoenaed and results were negative for the presence of opiates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, methadone, and ecstasy. Results indicated the presence of alcohol in his blood with a serum ethanol level of 213 mg/dL. He was discharged from the hospital on June, 13 2014.;
