RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, August 25, jet ski with two people on board hit channel marker.  One passenger was transported to hospital with wrist injuries. I met with the operator of the PWC.  The operator told me, he and his wife, the occupant, were traveling north on ICW.  They were going approximately 40 mph when he occupant told him to slow down.  The operator took his hand of the throttle and turned his head. When he looked forward, they were on a collision course with a channel marker.  The operator told me he froze, not knowing what to do.  He turned the steering column; however, jet ski did not change direction.  Both the operator and the occupant were ejected from jet ski when they hit the channel marker.  The occupant suffered an injury to her right wrist. The operator was uninjured.
  USCG picked up both swimmers onto their vessel and transported them to Riviera Beach City Marina.  Also, USCG towed the PWC to the Marina, where the operator rented it from.
  Emergence Medical Services (EMS) transported the occupant to Saint Mary’s Medical Center for treatment of the injured wrist The occupant suffered laceration on the top of her right wrist and a sprain to the same. Laceration required five stiches.  Also, laceration to right pointer finger that required two stitches.
