RedactedNarrative: On September 4th, 2021 at approximately 1630 hours, a vessel displaying Florida registration (FL 0099 SU), which was operated by OP1 with six other passengers onboard was traveling in the area of marker 59 in the St. Marks river. A larger sport fish vessel was traveling in the opposite direction producing a large wake. As vessel one met and struck the wake from the larger vessel, VICTIM who was seated on the bow deck, was thrown up in the air and landed onto the deck. Immediately after VICTIM complained of back pain and for a short time became unresponsive.
  	After arriving at the St. Marks Fort boat ramp, VICTIM was transported by Wakulla County EMS to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital for treatment of his injuries. After contacting VICTIM's wife on September 8th, she advised VICTIM sustained compression fractures in his L1 and L2 vertebra. VICTIM was released from the hospital with a back brace and medication for his pain management.; 
  On September 9th, 2021 I made contact with VICTIM's wife by telephone to check on the extent of VICTIM's injuries. VICTIM's wife stated that VICTIM sustained several compression fractures in his L1 and L2 vertebrae. He was placed in a back brace and given medication to regulate his pain before being released from the hospital. I told VICTIM's wife to contact me if she needed anything further or if there are any changes to VICTIM's injury.
