  HOW:a 33' center console vessel with 13 people on board had left the river and crashed into the trees. When I arrived at Ed Stone Park Boat Ramp, State Road 44, West Deland, I was met by Lake County EMS. I launched a vessel and proceeded to the crashsite, with EMS onboard to treat for possible injuries.  At marker 26, I found a good Sam vessel occupied by Volusia County Fire & Rescue(VCFR) paramedics who said they had all of the crash victims onboard and requested I transport the most serious injured to awaiting EMS at Ed Stone Park. I took onboard 2 Hispanic Females, 1 Hispanic male, and 1 Hispanic female teenager. The male occupant was uninjured but wanted to accompany his injured wife and daughter.  
  
  When I asked how the vessel crashed he told me he believes he fell asleep at the wheel. He stated he was traveling approx. 30-40 mph. at he time of the crash. The vessel was 70' ft from the riverside. He provided a sworn written statement attesting to being shaken awake, and it was too late to avoid the collision with the land. The operator stated he has fallen asleep like this in the past. He believes this may have contributed to the crash. ; Occupant 1 was treated and transported to hospital via EMS after complaining of rib pain. She impacted with the interior of the vessel during the crash.; Occupant 2:During the crash, M impacted something inside the vessel that caused a puncture wound to her left hip. She was treated by EMS and refused ambulance transportation.; Occupant 3 received a cut to her left ankle as a result of an impact with some object inside the vessel.
