RedactedNarrative: On 04/24/2021, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, was dispatched FWNE21OFF218301, to the report of a boating accident with five occupants in the water all wearing their life vests. This incident took place in the Indian River, just to the South West of the Railroad Bridge, Titusville, Brevard County. The vessel operator and owner confirmed that the engine cut off causing the trailing wake to enter the boat, causing it to sink and subsequently overturn. All occupants were uninjured and assisted by a good Samaritan and brought back to Sand Point Park where they launched from. The vessel was recovered on 04/25/2021.
  I asked Operator and Witness to explain what happened and they informed me that they were passing the NASA Railroad Bridge through the 25-mph zone, going approximately 10- mph when suddenly the engine cut off. They advised that as soon ad the engine cut off the trailing water came into the boat and they began to rapidly take on water. All occupants were able to put on life vests as the boat began to sink and subsequently overturn. The vessel occupants began to blow their whistles that were attached to their life vests and they were able to gain the attention of a good Samaritan who picked them up and brought them back to Sand Point Park where they had launched from a few hours earlier.
