RedactedNarrative: At approximately 10:00am on 7/2/17, I responded to a report of a boating accident in which a single vessel struck a stationary boat dock.  The vessel had two persons on board.  One occupant sustained injuries to his leg.  The operator sustained injuries to his right abdomen/ribs.
  
  Both men mentioned in their statements they were returning on plane (at speed) from Anna Maria Sound when they noticed an unsecured bucket in the rear of the boat.  
  
  Operator asked Occupant to go back and secure the bucket.  Operator turned around to check on Occupant’s status with the bucket and turned forward just as their boat struck the dock.  Both men were thrown forward within the boat from the impact of the boat with the dock. The boat snapped at least one dock piling and continued with forward momentum over top of the northwest portion of the “L-shaped” dock which collapsed upon impact.  The vessel then continued towards the seawall before Operator throttled down the motor and put the vessel in neutral.  Occupant sustained a 3-5” laceration to his left shin in the process. It is unknown whether part of the dock or something within the vessel caused the laceration.  Occupant received several sutures and steri-strips at the medical center to address his injury. Operator sustained a fracture to his ribs on his right side.;
