  the marsh and grounded at a high rate of speed. OP1 was at the helm of the vessel when it ran
  aground and came to a complete stop at a high rate of speed, the momentum inside the vessel sent OP1 ‘s body forward and he struck his head. OP1 was removed from the vessel by the U.

  correctly until the time of the accident
