RedactedNarrative: Operator was leaving the city ramp and struck a breakwall.  This caused the operator to fall forward pushing the throttle to full and striking the steering wheel.  The operator then fell to the deck, likely unconscious.  The vessel then started into the circle of death making 7 complete circles, turning to the starboard, and at one point striking a floating dock, breaking it off.  The vessel continued to circle until it grounded on another breakwall to the west.
  
  The accident occurred at approximately 23:49 and the vessel / operator was found floating near the breakwall across from Deep Water Marina at approximately 02:05 by a local salvage company, which towed the vessel to shore and notified ODNR / EMS.
  
  The number of circles were determined by viewing footage from a local security camera.
  The time of the accident was determined through use of security cameras and the help from the operator's father showing text messages with the operator and when the operator stopped communicating back.  The operator was texting back and forth passing information about another accident his brother was in hours before.  It is believed that the operator was texting or had just put the cell phone down from texting which resulted in distraction and thus restricted vision.  The phone was not recovered.
  
  The vessel did not have a capacity plate.  When the vessel was researched, it was found that the maximum horsepower for that year was 250 HP.  The vessel had a newer Yamaha 300 HP so it had been repowered at some point.
  
  Investigation found that the operator had a blood-alcohol of .121
  
  The operator was interviewed and does not have any memory of the accident.
