RedactedNarrative: On 3-6-2015, Marathon dispatch advised of a PWC crash, with injuries, in Marathon. Dispatch advised to meet with the reporting party at Wake Zone in Marathon.  I advised dispatch that I would be en route. Dispatch advised that the injured party had been transported to Fisherman's Hospital in Marathon. Lt. advised that he would be en route to the hospital to check on the injured party.
  
  Witness said that he and his friend were operating their PWC's on the West side of Boot Key. They decided to go into the only canal entrance on the West side of the key. He said that his friend suddenly turned to the left and drove into the mangroves. He said that he got his friend off that PWC and transported him to Sombrero Beach where he had another friend transport the injured party to the hospital. He then called us and went back to Wake Zone.
  
  Lt. arrived at Fisherman's Hospital to interview the injured party, and photograph the injuries. Lt identified the injured party.
  
  Lt asked Victim what had happened. Victim said he was going into the canal and must have panicked and instead of letting go of the throttle he froze up and squeezed the throttle and ended up in the mangroves.
  
  Lt came back to meet with myself and Officer at Wake Zone. We went out to the location of the crash, but were unable to get to the PWC because the tide was too low and we were unable to get to the vessel. While we were out there, Witness arrived to retrieve the PWC. He was also unable to get to the PWC. Witness advised that he would return when the tide came up to retrieve the PWC. He advised that he would photograph the vessel as per my instructions, which he did later provide.
  
  On 03/09/2015, I received the photos from Lt. and the photos that Witness had provided to Lt. I went to Wake Zone and looked at the PWC.I observed no damage to the PWC.
  I went to Fisherman's hospital to confirm that Victim had been treated and released. Fisherman's Hospital confirmed it.; VICTIM:The operator was taken to the Fisherman's Hospital in Marathon by a friend. The operator was treated and released with lacerations to the face and forehead.
