RedactedNarrative: On February 24, 2018 at approximately 1600 hours, Officer and I were dispatched to a vessel in distress on the Withlacoochee River Florida Georgia line just north of Pineapple Street. The vessel was stranded in the middle of the river grounded on some rock shoals/rocks. 
  	Upon arriving on scene, I contacted Lowndes County Fire rescue and the Fire Chief advised that he had rescue swimmers on scene trying to get the stranded passengers back on land. I went back into Madison County where I met up with Officer. Upon arriving on scene we observed a vessel bearing registration number GA0678GT with 4 occupants in the middle of the river grounded on some rock shoals. Officer and I observed fire rescue assist the occupants onto the bank just north of the shoals. 
  	Officer and I made our way to Olympia rd. and Madison HWY where the occupants of the stranded vessel were in ambulance. The first occupant advised that by the time the operator of the vessel  observed the shoals it was too late. When Operator1 tried to turn around the foot of the motor got caught on the rocks and would not allow him to move any further. Then the current pushed the vessel against the rocks which punctured the hull of the vessel allowing water to get in. 
  	The second occupant suffered superficial scratches to her lower leg and felt dizzy. The paramedics on scene advised they were going to take her to Lowndes County Hospital. 
  	Third occupant sustained head injuries and had back pain. She was also going to hospital in ambulance. 
  	We were advised that the operator of the vessel was transported to Nankin boat ramp by vessel by his parents. 
  	We met the operator of Vessel at the Nankin boat ramp along with his parents. Operator1 did not sustain any injuries. Operator1 wrote a statement reflecting the same verbal statement occupant1 had given during her interview.
  	During our Investigation we were made aware there was no Personal floatation devices on board the vessel. Officer and I expressed to Operator1 the importance of boating safety and advised him that taking a boating safety course would be very beneficial to him, as well as required when operating a vessel upon Florida waters.
  	The vessel was left tied to the bank 20 yards north of where the vessel was grounded. Operator1 advised he will be returning later next week to retrieve the vessel.
