RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, July 2, 2022, at approximately 1110 hours, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Officers responded to a single vessel accident at Lake Placid, located in Highlands County, Florida. A 2007, 10-foot Honda PWC (V1) was being operated on plane with one subject on board. 
  
  V1 was traveling west, lost control in a turn and collided with a dock at Lake Placid, FL 33852. The operator was ejected following the collision and shortly thereafter recovered from the water while floating face down. He was assisted to the shore where he was met by Highlands County Fire Rescue personnel who treated him for his injuries. He was subsequently transported to Gulf Coast Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries and later released.
  
  ACCIDENT
  While Operator was approaching the dock on a plane, he attempted to turn left(Port) in front of the dock. V1’s starboard(right) bow(front) collided with the dock’s center pylon. This caused Operator to impact his pelvic on the dock’s pylon. V1 ricocheted off the pylon and continued to collide with the dock’s ladder before ejecting Operator on the port(left). V1 capsized and was found with the engine off by witnesses. Operator was found floating face down in the water while wearing a personal floatation device (PFD). At the time of the incident, Operator sustained minor head injury and a fractured pelvic from impacting the dock’s pylon. Operator had the engine cut off safety lanyard attached to him at the time of the incident causing the engine to shut off.   
  
  POST-ACCIDENT 
  Two people helped retrieve Operator from the water and onto the shoreline. Operator shortly regained consciousness and was uncoherent by witnesses. Subjects placed Operator on a paddleboard and then onto the bed of a side by side. Operator was escorted to the street and waited for Highlands County Fire rescue. V1 was flipped back over and tied off near the dock by witnesses. Operator was transported by Aeromed to Gulf coast medical Center.  We took photographs of V1 and surrounding area. K9 Officer and Investigator conducted an interview with Operator at Gulf Coast Medical Center. Alcohol use is believed to be a contributor in this incident, witnesses reported indicators of the operator possibly being impaired.; 
  
  Operator received a minor head injury without concussion along with a fractured pelvic. This injury was consistent with Operator impacting the dock after V1 collided the dock’s pillion. He was treated for the injuries by Highlands County Fire Rescue and then Aeromed (air flown) to Gulf Coast Medical Center, Ft. Myers. He was wearing a personal flotation device(PFD), Safety Lanyard at the time of the accident and knew how to swim.
