RedactedNarrative: On Friday, 5/8/20 at approximately 1845 hours, Boating Accident #FWSA-20-OFF-004803 occurred at the Hillsboro Inlet Jetty in Pompano Beach, FL in Broward County. The accident occurred due to an impaired operator operating his vessel too close to the jetty. Approximate latitude is N 26 15.4939, W 80 4.8191. The vessel was stuck on the jetty for a few minutes, but the tide and waves pushed the vessel off the jetty into the inlet. There were no injuries to the operator or the passengers.
  
  The owner of the vessel was operating the vessel off the coast of Hillsboro Beach toward Hillsboro Inlet. The operator spotted a vessel stuck on the jetty. He attempted to get close enough to help the vessel off the jetty. The operator of the vessel attempted to get close enough to a vessel stock on the rocks to help assist; but failed to observe a Tow Boat US vessel already tied up to the stuck vessel. 
  
  The operator of the vessel failed to see the line tied to the vessel and his vessel hit the line. The operator put his vessel into reverse, but the prop was hitting a shallow reef. The waves and current pushed his vessel on the jetty getting him stuck. The waves continued to throw the vessel left and right causing major damage to the bottom of the vessel. The waves and current after a few minutes pushed the vessel off the jetty into the inlet. The vessel stayed afloat. 
  
  The owner of the vessel attempted to drive away from the scene. I conducted a vessel stop so a boating accident report could be completed.
