RedactedNarrative: On Friday, April 17, 2020 at approximately 2034 hours, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was alerted by the Union County Sheriff Office, of a single vessel incident involving two individuals who were ejected from a vessel.  
  
  Operator1 was operating his 14-foot, stick steering vessel at full throttle on Palestine Lake when the vessel suddenly turned hard toward starboard (right) ejecting the operator immediately.  The passenger was also ejected after she could no longer stay within the vessel due to the centrifugal force caused by the tight turns from the vessel as it continued to travel in circles.  
  
  A “Good Samaritan” vessel was able to recover both occupants and transport them to the boat ramp to receive medical attention.  The operator, Operator1’s injuries consisted of a soft tissue laceration overlying the vertex of the skull, thigh area of his right leg and inner part of his left leg (calf).  There was no evidence of a traumatic injuries and/or minor injuries in reference to the passenger.  As of April 18, 2020, at approximately 0330 hours, FWC was unable to get an update in reference to Operator1’s injuries and/or status, because Hospitals are restricting access in reference to the concerns with COVID 19.  The incident is being investigated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Investigations Section.
