RedactedNarrative: On May 9, 2017 at approximately 1830hrs, I Officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission received a report of a boating accident near Blackburn Point Marina from Tampa Bay Regional Communications Center (TRCC). I was advised by TRCC there were two vessels involved, and one occupant was complaining of back pain. Before I arrived on scene TRCC advised the subject complaining of back pain was transported to Sarasota Memorial Hospital (SMH) by EMS.  
  
  V1 (1POB) struck V2 (4POB) on the port side transom. All occupants of V2 fell from the impact. There was 1 adult and 3 minors on board V2. All 3 minors complained of soreness after the accident. 
  
  V1 sustained damage to the bow, and V2 sustained damage to the engine cowling, port side transom, starboard bow handrail, and starboard side gunwale beneath the handrail.
  
  
  Operator1 then stated as he was attempting to dock he tried to grab a piling on the dock. Operator1 stated he missed the first piling he tried to grab, but caught the second piling. It was at this time that Operator1’s elbow hit the throttle causing his vessel to rapidly accelerate, and collide with vessel 2. 
  
  Operator1 stated he was approximately 1.5 feet off of the transom of vessel 2 at the time his elbow hit the throttle.  
  
  I began interviewing V2 subject about the incident. V2 subject stated his wife just bought food for the family, and he was helping pass the food out to his children on the vessel at the time of the accident. V2 subject stated he observed Operator1 attempting to dock vessel 1, and he was about to go help him dock vessel 1. 
  
  V2 subject stated before he could go help his vessel was struck on the port side transom, and forced down by the bow of vessel 1 causing the starboard bow of vessel 2 to lift and strike the dock. The impact of the accident caused all occupants of vessel 2 to fall in the vessel. V2 subject stated the vessel was listing hard to the port side after the impact causing water to come in the vessel. 
  
  After tending to his children V2 subject was able to remove the water with the bilge pump. All three children on board complained of soreness after the accident.
