RedactedNarrative: On June 12, 2016 at approximately 1200 hrs while I, Officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was on routine patrol of the Gulf of Mexico. I received a call from Tampa Regional Command Center that a vessel accident had just occurred in the Bayport Channel.
   
  I arrived at Bayport Boat ramp and met with a subject who stated he was the operator of the vessel in the accident, Operator showed me the vessel that was involved in the. Mentioned vessel was identified by its Florida registration number FL 0007 LW.  Operator stated that he was operating the vessel at a fast Idle West out of the Bayport channel heading into the Gulf of Mexico when his Wife asked him a question. When Operator turned to answer his wife he turned his whole body turning the steering wheel of the vessel and colliding with a fixed channel marker. 
   
  Operator stated that he fell into the console of the vessel and that his wife fell onto the side of the vessel then landed on the vessel floor. Wife was complaining of her shoulder and hip hurting so Operator navigated the vessel back to Bayport boat ramp where they were met by Hernando County EMS. Wife was then transported to Oak Hill Hospital. All other subjects on the vessel did not need medical treatment.
