RedactedNarrative: On 7-21-16, at approximately 10:30 pm, I, Officer1 with the Florida Fishing and Wildlife Conservation Commission received a phone call from Officer 2, also with FWC, Officer 2 told me of a boating accident in Hog town Bayou. I called dispatch and told them I would be in route with a vessel. Officers 2, 3, 4, and 5 all with FWC were in route to Cessna Boat Ramp. Dispatch informed me that the vessel had 12 people on board, four people over board, and had hit a group of pilings entering the bayou.
    
   Out of the twelve people on board, there were four who went overboard upon colliding with the pilings, one of them was a child aged 7 years and had her life jacket on according to witness statements, the other three were adults and did not have life jackets on.  According to the operators statement, at approximately 9:20 pm, the vessel passed under the mid-bay bridge, followed the red and green lighted channel markers to the entrance of Hogtown Bayou, veered right out of the channel at approximately 100 feet, heard his wife scream who was helping him navigate with a flashlight, at this instant he hit four pilings, four people were ejected and the rest of the occupants were thrown around in the vessel, they made sure everyone was back in the vessel and accounted for, called 911, and got the boat back to Cessna landing under it's own power.  
  
  The following day, Officer 3 and I went out to the crash site, and located four large concrete and wooden pilings, known as the old Four Mile Point Marker, we observed one of the wooden beams had been broken off, and there was fiberglass shards on top of the concrete where the starboard side of the vessel hull made contact with it.  According to the damage on the hull of the boat, and the damage to the pilings, the operator and witness statements appear to all be consistent.  I observed that there were no lights or reflectors on the pilings that that the vessel had struck just outside of the main channel.  Due to the nature of the crash, no charges will be filed against the operator. Injuries included one person with a broken collar bone, one had broken two toes, all had contusions and abrasions; Passenger1: Sprain to right foot and broken toes; Passenger2: Broken collar bone right side; Passenger3: Left shoulder cut to lip contusion to back of left hand; Passenger4: Lower back strain cut to right eye.
