RedactedNarrative: On 3/25/2019, at approximately 4:15 PM, a 12 foot aluminum vessel bearing the Michigan registration (MC5914TM) collided with a channel marker near the channel 2 bridge, ejected its operator, and continued into a residential canal on the oceanside of Lower Matecumbe Key were it again collided with a rocky seawall. The final collision was inside the residential canal. 
  
  The vessel had only one person onboard. It is unconfirmed which exact channel marker was hit by the vessel but it was on the oceanside of the Channel 2 Bridge. It could have been a Channel 2 channel marker or a channel marker from the series leading into Caloosa Cove Marina. 
  
  According to statements originally made by the operator, the steering wheel fell off when the collision with the channel marker occurred, but he then stated that the steering wheel fell off before the collision. 
  The involved vessel sustained damage to the bow where the aluminum bent in an upward direction. There was also scrapes about midship on the portside. The 9.9 horsepower mercury on the transom of the vessel was also submerged for a significant amount of time and would not start.
