RedactedNarrative: V-1 was traveling north in the Marco River. As V-1 passed under the Jolly bridge at approximately 20 MPH, the operator observed dolphins swimming near the vessel on the port side. The operator turned the steering wheel sharply to avoid them, this motion caused the passenger to fall onto the throttle and increase the speed of the vessel rapidly. 
  
  As a result the operator and the passenger were thrown off of the vessel's port side. As the passenger was falling off of the vessel, her left ankle/foot caught the rear cleat. The passenger's ankle was punctured by the cleat and it ripped her skin open down the outside of her foot to her toe. 
  
  A good Samaritan stopped and pulled them onto their boat. CCSO marine unit responded and was able to stop the vessel and shut off the engine. The victim was transported to the Snook Inn restaurant, where EMS and Paramedics were waiting to treat her injuries. The victim was transported to NCH downtown and admitted for treatment. The doctors at NCH downtown referred to her injury as an "open fracture of left foot and ankle".
