The individual on the vessel was injured and transported to the hospital. On April 17, 2018 at approximately 1640, I of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was on land patrol when I was dispatched to a boating accident (FL 2346ES) involving one person who was injured. The boating accident accord at approximately 1515 in the Intercoastal waterway (ICW) near channel marker 20. Sarasota county marine patrol arrived on scene at approximately 1540 along with Officer 2 FWC. I went to Sarasota Memorial hospital to meet the operator of the vessel, who was identified as Operator 1.  Once I arrived at the hospital I asked Operator 1 to explain what happened. He stated that he was fishing near a dock and boat lift on the west side of the ICW channel marker 20. He stated he was up front standing on the bow fishing and operating the trolling motor when he noticed that he was getting closed to the boat lift and dock. He put the trolling motor in reverse but noticed he had left the vessel motor in forward gear. At this point he said he realized he was going to crash. He put his arms up in the air to protect his face. His body got pinned between the boat lift and center console of the vessel. Operator 1 then saw a vessel nearby so he drove the vessel over to the good Samaritans, he asked them for help since Operator 1 was injured. The good Samaritans called 911 and drive his vessel across to the east side of the ICW, so the ambulance could take him to the hospital. He was picked up by EMS. The residence owner let Operator 1 keep his vessel at the address for a couple day. The only damage to the vessel was to the plastic windshield, it had several cracks. Operator 1 had four broken ribs.
