RedactedNarrative: On June 28th, 2016 vessel one (V1) was operated by operator one (O1) on the Missouri River and included two other passengers (V1P1&P2) in the vessel, three occupants all together.  V1 was cruising approximately 30mph upstream on the Missouri River near Minor’s Bend. V1P1 was seating in the passenger seat facing towards the bow. V1P2 was sitting in the back bench seat of V1 facing towards the bow. No Personal Floatation Devices were worn but were on board. V1O1 stated V1 was cruising at approximately 30mph and just observed the depth finder at around 10’ of water. V1O1 glanced toward the canal of Minor’s Bend and at that time hit a sandbar that abruptly stopped (grounding) V1. V1O1 was able to unground V1 and make it to the nearby boat ramp at Minor’s Bend on the SD side of the Missouri river to assess injuries and call for help. Medical and Law Enforcement arrived at the boat ramp of Minor’s Bend. V1P1 & P2 were transported by ambulance to the hospital for treatment. V1O1 denied injury and treatment. Alcohol was not a factor.
   
  During the abrupt grounding:
  - V1P1 was caused to hit the windshield and the dash of V1. V1P1 sustained a broken wrist and was released from the hospital. 
  -V1P2 was thrown forward toward the bow, bouncing off the dash and windshield, landing up near the bow of V1 on the floorboard. V1P2 suffered a large laceration to the head and was admitted overnight in the hospital for monitoring.
