RedactedNarrative: At approximately 1852 on 18 June 2015, Operator1 was navigating the channel from Queens Creek heading towards Narrows Marina (adjacent to Milford Haven).  As Operator1 cleared the red channel marker #8 (outbound, he started to increased speed and struck a sandbar that had extended from the shoreline into the channel.  There were two people on the bow of the vessel.  
  
  Upon the vessels impact with the sandbar, Occupant1 was thrown forward over the railing into the water.  She struck the sandbar on her back (water dept was approximately 6").  Occupant2 struck the cleat with her right foot and hit her face against the handrails.  Operator1 struck the helm station, injuring his groin.
    
  Occupant2 called Coast Guard Station Milford Haven for assistance.  Virginia Marine Police was contacted by the US Coast Guard.  The Coast Guard launched the 45 patrol boat but was unable to reach the Cindy K due to the shallow water.  Virginia Marine Police launched the 27 Sea Ark and embarked with two advanced life support technicians from Mathews Rescue Department.  
  
  The 27 Sea Ark was grounded on the sandbar and the two officers, along with one Mathews Rescue personnel jumped into the water to render assistance.  Occupant1 was complaining of injuries to her back and was screaming in pain.  Occupant1 was stabilized and placed onboard the 27 Sea Ark.  She was transported to Coast Guard Station Milford Haven (along with Operator1)and evacuated to Norfolk General Hospital via rescue helicopter.
  
  Occupant2 was taken back to her residence by a good Samaritan and she was driven by her husband to Mathews Rescue Station.  She was initially treated at the station for a severe laceration to her right foot and bleeding from her nose.  She refused further treatment until she was driven to Norfolk General Hospital where she received 9 stitches to her right foot.
  
  Occupant1 was admitted to the hospital due to her injuries.  She was diagnosed with 3 cracked vertebra to her neck and 2 cracked vertebra to the lower back. She is currently still admitted to the hospital due to excessive pain, but is fully mobile.
  
  Operator1 was later admitted to Norfolk General Hospital due to his groin injuries and an anxiety attack he suffered later on that evening.  He has since been discharged.
  
  The vessel was later towed off the sandbar by a towing agency (Sea Tow) and taken to Narrows Marina.  Upon initial inspection, no damage has been found and vessel is seaworthy.
