RedactedNarrative: On 12/06/2020 at approximately 0410 a vessel (1 operator and 1 passenger) struck a wooden seawall on Black Creek.
  
  
  On 12/06/2020 at approximately 0410, Operator and Passenger were cruising southeasterly on Black Creek at approximately 30 MPH. Just south of the Henly Road (CR 209) bridge Operator1 stated the his steering cable broke. 
  
  The vessel took a hard left turn and struck a wooden seawall. The impact ejected Passenger from the vessel. He stated that he was knocked out but when he hit the cold water he suddenly regained  consciousness to see the vessel and operator drifting away. 
  
  Neighbors heard the impact and came to assist. When Clay Sheriffs Officers and FWC Leutenant arrived, it was determined through Field Sobriety Tasks that Operator1 was impaired. Operator1 was transported to Clay County Jail where he refused breath/ alcohol testing. 
  
  	I arrived at approximately 0500 and launched my vessel at Old Ferry boat ramp. I photographed the crash- impact spot and vessel damage as-well-as several empty budweiser cans and box. I then hip-towed the vessel to the Old Ferry ramp where the vessel owner (father) loaded the boat onto his trailer. Later that same morning I drove to residence and took more photographs of the boat in the daylight.; 
  
  Operator1 sustained chemical burns from gasoline to his lower legs. He also broke his nose. He was transported to Shands Hospital in Gainesville.
