RedactedNarrative: On Sunday June 27, 2021 at approximately 20:15 hours, OP1 was operating his Personal Watercraft (PWC) in the area of South Fork Black Creek and CR 218 bridge when he collided with the concrete bridge pile.  The impact caused significant damage to the vessel and minor injuries to OP1's right hand.
  I was able to observe the video later and his verbal explanation of the accident along with his written statement leaves no doubt as to what contributed to the accident.  OP1 was travelling too fast for the area as he attempted to make a left turn under the bridge.  He panicked letting off the throttle when he realized he misjudged his speed and sharpness of the curve. Letting off the throttle resulted in complete steering loss due to the PWC being propelled by a waterjet. OP1 struck a pile with the starboard side glancing off and then hit the neighboring pile with the port side bow section.  Most of the damage was to the port side bow.; OP1 received a small abrasion in the web of his right hand between his thumb and index finger.
