  When:  November 25,2022 at approximately 1415 hours.
  Details of the incident:
  On November 25, 2022, at approximately 1415 hours, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) were on state land patrol in Broward County when we responded to a call from dispatch about a vessel running into the Atlantic BLVD bridge in the intercoastal waterway (ICW).
  On November 25, 2022, at approximately 1530 hours I arrived on scene at the Atlantic BLVD ICW bridge and met with the bridge tender. I verified DRAWBRIDGE OPERATOR’s information by running his Florida drivers license he provided me though dispatch. DRAWBRIDGE OPERATOR explained that he witnessed vessel with the name “ALI CANTE” or " ALI TANTE" hit the bridge at approximately 1250 hours, damaging the Bridges swing lights (see attached pictures). DRAWBRIDGE OPERATOR explained that the vessel made no attempt to stop and continued to move south in the intercoastal waterway from the Atlantic BLVD bridge. DRAWBRIDGE OPERATOR was able to provide me with a copy of his report on the damaged bridge with the Department of Transportation (see attachments). At approximately 1700 hours, myself, and another officer (FWC) started state water patrol on a marked, state issued patrol vessel to search the area near the Atlantic BLVD bridge for the vessel with the names that DRAWBRIDGE OPERATOR provided. We continued to search until approximately 2000 hours without finding the vessel.
