  On 08/16/2021 V1 (22’ Sea Pro FL 6670 SP) operated by OP1 was heading Southwest in the Hillsborough River idle speed zone near the Florida Ave. overpass. Onboard the vessel at the time was PAX1. OP1 was traveling at a high rate of speed near a bend in the river.
  At approximately 1400 hrs, V1 collided with the shoreline causing the vessel to ramp up into a wooded area. Just prior to the collision with the shoreline, the operator of V1 was ejected from the vessel and ended up in the water uninjured. PAX1 remained inside the vessel all throughout the collision and was also uninjured.  V1 sustained damage to the keel as well as the port and starboard chines. The operator of V1 (OP1) was recovered from the water by a good Samaritan. After the accident both OP1 and PAX1 left the scene without notifying law enforcement or the residence at the accident site.  No damage was sustained to the property nor were there any other vessels involved in the accident.  
  Based on interviews, assessment of the damage, and information gathered to date.  The operator of V1 (OP1) was traveling at a high rate of speed within an idle speed zone when he became distracted by a cell phone that fell from onto the deck. This action made OP1 over correct the vessel causing it to collided with the shoreline. OP1 and PAX1 then left the scene of the accident without notifying the proper authorities because they stated they thought the property was vacant.
