RedactedNarrative: On April 19, 2014 at approximately 2230 Officer received a call from dispatch about a boating accident that had occurred in Santa Rosa Sound near Liza Jackson Park in Mary Ester. Once on scene we met up with the Coast Guard and waited for them to bring the operator and passenger of the vessel to shore. Once ashore the occupant was transported to Ft. Walton Beach medical center for treatment to his right collar bone which was broken during the accident. I met the operator and questioned him about what had happened to cause the accident. Operator stated that he was cruising through the ICW when his navigation lights suddenly stopped working. He was trying to fix the fuse on his console when he lost situational awareness and when he looked up he was headed straight for the spoil island. Operator said he could not avoid the island and grounded his vessel on the island. When he impacted the island the occupant of the vessel Occupant that was sitting in the front seat was ejected from the vessel. Occupant broke his right collar bone when he impacted the ground. A few days after the accident I returned to resident and took photos of the vessel and issued him a citation for careless operation.
