RedactedNarrative: On July 9, 2016, at approximately 9:00 pm, Vessel-1 (V1) was underway in navigation on Escambia Bay. Vessel was being operated by vessel owner. At time of incident the vessel was occupied by two persons including the operator. 
  
  V1 was traveling in a north east direction enroute to Bayou Texar Boat Ramp.  As vessel was being navigated into the area of the channel north east of the confluence of the Bayou, Operator, changed course. The Operator made a port turn towards the confluence. Operator accelerated causing the bow to rise and vessel to travel at an estimated speed of 15-25 MPH. Visibility was reportedly limited by darkness. V1 struck the east side, a wooden groin. 
  
  The groin emanates from the shoreline southward into the waterway at the bay entrance to bayou. The groin is constructed of wood planking with pilings. The groin height to water surface varies with tides. Operator struck the groin with V1’s bow (point of impact). The impact and speed caused the vessel to ride up on top of groin and settled on a groin piling. V1 sustained extensive damage to bow and hull. Operator sustained a laceration to his forehead and soreness to his upper torso (chest) as a result of impact with the steering wheel and windshield.  
  
  Passenger reportedly seated in the rear seat was forced forward by impact and found herself on the cockpit sole forward of mid ship.  Passenger sustained lacerations to the rear of her cranium and left hand. Occupants were transported by EMS to Baptist Hospital for treatment.
  
  Occupant sustained lacerations to the crown of her head and left hand.  She received treatment at Baptist Hospital and was later released.
  
  Operator sustained the following injuries: soreness to his upper torso, laceration to his right forehead, scrapes to his left forearm and leg.  Subject was admitted to the hospital for treatment.
