RedactedNarrative: On 01/26/2021, at approximately 1500 hours, V1 was recreationally cruising northeast bound in the northwest area of Lake Parker. The vessel struck trees along the shoreline resulting in vessel damage and non life-threatening injuries to the operator and passenger, requiring transport to Lakeland Regional Hospital. 
  
  Accident:
  Traveling too fast for conditions caused the port side bow and mirror of V1 to strike the trees along the northern shoreline. V1 sustained approximately 8” of damage to the port side fiberglass above the sideview mirror. The impact also caused the port side mirror to break off (see photos). Total damages are estimated at $150. Operator sustained a possible concussion, and lacerations and contusions to his face. Occupant sustained a laceration to her nose and pain and swelling to her right hand. Operator and Occupant were transported to Lakeland Regional Hospital by Polk County Fire Rescue. 
  
  Post-accident:
  Operator and Occupant were able to exit the PWC and walk to the north shore of Lake Parker and call for medical help. Lakeland Police and Polk County Fire Rescue arrived prior to me. I responded to Lakeland Regional Hospital to interview Operator and Occupant. Operator stated that he remembered operating the PWC on Lake Parker but did not remember the events leading up to the accident or after the accident. 
  
  Occupant stated that she thought the PWC lost power as they were rounding a turn which caused it to lose steering and subsequently crash into the trees along the shoreline.
