RedactedNarrative: V1 was traveling west inside of Ponce Inlet and ran aground on a sand bar causing an occupant (VICTIM) to be thrown to the deck of the boat.
  On June 13, 2021, we were dispatched to a vessel grounding in the Ponce Inlet area.  New Smyrna Fire Rescue arrived as we were launching a patrol boat at Coast Guard Ponce Inlet.  Four firemen boarded our FWC patrol boat to assist with any injuries that might have occurred during the accident.  When we arrived at the sandbar south of the Ponce Inlet lighthouse, we observed a white vessel with a yellow stripe that was hard aground.  A few of the individuals on board were waving us over because an occupant was on the floor of the vessel complaining of back and neck pain.  When we arrived, we identified the captain of the vessel as OP1.  Onboard we found six females that had chartered the captained vessel for the day.  The injured party, VICTIM, was complaining of neck and hip injuries.  We placed VICTIM on a back board and moved her from the vessel to the patrol boat and transported her to CG Ponce.  EMS then transported her to the hospital.  At the hospital, they found no broken bones but believed she suffered a concussion and contusions to the right side of her face and head. 
   
  On June 21, USCG and I, met with OP1, the captain of the vessel.  The CG officers told OP1 that he should have immediately contacted CG and told them about the accident.  This would have started the time clock for the drug and alcohol testing.  OP1 was issued a warning by CG for this violation and was given material to educate other operators of similar vessels.
  
  OP1 also told us he was operating on a plane westbound in the Ponce Inlet area at approximately 20 MPH when he struck the sand bar.  Due to the sea's conditions and overcast conditions, he could not see the sandbar from the vessel.  While OP1 was aground, two other vessels were grounded on the same sand bar.  Due to the conditions, I am issuing OP1 a written warning for careless operation (Rule 6-Safe Speed). VICTIM: The doctors advised that VICTIM had suffered a concussion and had contusions to her right side of face and head.
