RedactedNarrative: On 5/7/2016, at approximately 18:30 hours, vessel 1 was traveling south on the Santa Fe River. Subject was operating vessel 1, a 1980 model, 18' Glastron boat. Operator estimated his speed at 40 mph as he approached a curve .57 miles south of Sandy Point Motel and Campground. As he entered this curve, he and another vessel were in the center of the river. Operator turned his vessel to the right, but was unable to maintain control due to the wake from the other vessel. At this point, Operator struck several trees on the Suwannee County side of the Santa Fe River. Once his vessel came to rest, he banked the vessel on the Suwannee County side.  Operator was then picked up by another boater, and transported to Sandy Point Motel and Campground. From there, he was taken to Shands Lake Shore Regional Medical Center by his wife. Operator was treated for lacerations to his elbows and a broken rib. During an interview with Operator, he admitted to me that his excessive speed, in conjunction with the wake of the other vessel, was the cause for the accident.  Operator removed his vessel from the Santa Fe River on Monday, May 9th, 2016.
