RedactedNarrative: On 3/22/2020 at 1735 hours I was dispatched in reference to a boating accident involving a single PWC.  
  
  The operator had just lowered the PWC into the water from the lift in the St. Johns River. Upon attempting to start the PWC an explosion occurred sending Operator into the river and separating the top cap of the PWC from the bottom.  
  
  Operator's boyfriend was already on a separate PWC in the water and retrieved Operator from the water and took her to shore.  Operator was transported to Orange Park Medical by EMS for treatment.  Dr. stated that Operator has several broken bones in both ankles as well as burns on her legs from the incident.  
  
  The owner of the PWC stated that there has not been any recent maintenance performed on the PWC.  It us not known what caused the explosion inside the engine compartment.
