RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was Eastbound on the Hillsboro Canal attempting to overtake a friend operating another vessel (1985 17' Glasstream FL3009NC). Operator of vessel 1 crossed over the wake of the other vessel to came up and pass along the starboard side but lost control and was ejected upon striking the wake. 
  
  The passenger in vessel 1 remained inside the vessel as it crashed into the shoreline and came to rest in a wooded area of land. The passenger suffered lacerations to her right foot and the left side of her forehead. She was conscious and breathing and both she and operator were picked up in the other boat and brought back to Pioneer Park boat ramp. Deerfield Fire Rescue responded and bandaged Occupant's injuries prior to her father arriving and transporting her to Delray Memorial Hospital for further treatment. It should be noted that operator and Subject1 remained on scene but their account of the events varied widely during my interview process.
  
   Subject1 stated he was traveling Westbound with Operator coming at him and observed the accident which was just operator of vessel 1 being ejected out of vessel 1 for no apparent reason and then the vessel continuing forward onto land with the passenger still aboard. 
  
  Operator first advised he had Subject1 were traveling Eastbound when a small third "ghost" vessel passed between them going Westbound which caused him to be ejected and lose control of his vessel, Obviously, both stories were incorrect as these were the only two vessels on the Hillsboro Canal at the time of incident and both were traveling at a high rate of speed in a slow speed zone.
  
   Operator was issued a citation for careless operation resulting in an accident and released from scene. Vessel 1 suffered heavy fiberglass damage to the bow and port side and some of the tree limbs had pierced the hull of the boat. Operator was unable to recover the vessel from the wooded area at this time but was attempting to get estimates from Tow Boat US prior to my departure. I have made numerous attempts to contact operator and passenger to obtain updated information with negative results. I was never able to get the exact extent of injuries from Occupant since her visit to the hospital. Operator's phone also continue to go to voicemail only but the vessel has been removed from the wooded area. No additional at this time. 
  Occupant suffered a LACERATION TO RIGHT FOOT AND LEFT SIDE OF FOREHEAD
