RedactedNarrative: On 09/07/19 at approximately 1737 hours, a 15’ 3” seadoo boat hit the wake of another vessel on big lake conway in orange county florida. The operator was ejected and the passenger was knocked unconscious and was still in the boat. The vessel continued under power until it ran aground on the beach. Witnesses called 911 who dispatched both ocfd and ocso marine. I was patrolling the conway chain of lakes in marked patrol boat and responded to the scene. Upon my arrival, i observed victim (vessel owner) standing on the dock leaning against the railing. Subject had a towel over his head to control bleeding from a serious laceration to his head above his right eye. Several people were assisting him. Also at the scene was the operator who was sitting on the ground next to the boat ramp. The seadoo jet boat (fl 3101 pf) was about 10 feet up on the beach next to the boat dock. I confirmed everyone was accounted for when ocfd station arrived.
  
  My investigation revealed:
  Earlier that day, both subject and operator had been at the “sandbar” on north lake conway in Subject’s 15’ 3” yellow seadoo vessel. When they left the sandbar, operator was operating the vessel and sitting on the starboard side and cordello was seated on the port side. They went through the hoffner canel and entered big lake conway and went to the right. Operator stated that he observed a large wake to his left so he steered farther to the right. Eventually, operator had to steer back left into the wake to avoid the shore. Operator estimated the boat was traveling about 20 mph. Operator stated that when they went over the wake he was thrown into the air and went overboard. He did not have a lanyard attached to him so the vessel kept going. When he looked up from the water he saw the boat underway but could not see Subject. The boat then ran aground on the beach. When the vessel went over the wake, Subject was thrown to his right and hit his head on the console knocking him unconscious in the boat.
