RedactedNarrative: On August 29, 2019 at approximately 1408 hours I was called to a reported vessel hitting a sand bar with an injured victim. There was another unit in the area who got underway on a patrol vessel and responded to the scene. He advised me that he was on scene with the victim and paramedics. I arrived at Holt''s Landing as the victim was being flown to Christiana Care Hospital. 
  
  I located the vessel along with its other occupants and operator at the Holt''s Landing Boat Ramp. I obtained information from all persons on the vessel. 
  
  Operator was behind the wheel operating at approximately 30 MPH headed toward the Indian River Inlet. He stated that he believed he was in the channel when he suddenly hit a sand bar and the boat stopped. 
  
  Victim was standing in the center of the vessel leaning against the back seat. When the vessel hit the sand bar she fell forward a distance of twelve feet and struck the front of the vessel. 
  
  After checking for the vessel safety equipment I documented the vessel with photographs.
  
  While speaking with the operator I detected the smell of alcoholic beverage. I asked about alcohol on the vessel. Operator stated that he had finished a drink left over from the day before but that was all. 
  I conducted SFST''s on the operator with negative results. 
  
  I released the vessel and persons to head to the Hospital.
  
  On Thursday 9/12/19 Operator, Operator was arrested for a vessel reasonable speed violation where he plead guilty.
