On 5/7/2023 around 1800 hours a Bass Cat boat was traveling on the Suwannee River. The Vessel came in contact with another vessels wake, lost control and hit the bank of the river, injuring one of the two occupants. 

	On 5/7/2023 Florida Fish and Wildlfie Conservation Commission, received a report from FWC Dispatch of a single vessel boating accident on the Suwannee River. Per the report, the boating accident had already occurred and one individual was taken to the hospital with minor injuries to her knee.  

 	I made contact with the individuals involved, Operator and Passenger VICTIM. I learned that they were in OP1' vessel, a 2017 20 foot Bass Cat, traveling on the Suwannee River up from Fanning Springs. As they were headed down river, around 1830 hours, they encountered a wake from another vessel. As they hit the wake, OP1 reduced speed, losing control of his vessel. The vessel then made a hard turn left, running into the bank on the Gilchrist County side of the river. 

 	Once the vessel hit the bank, VICTIM was thrown into the front of the boat, hurting her knee. OP1 did not receive any injuries and his vessel had minimal damage (rub rail torn and scratches). The vessel was able to be moved back into the water and drove back to the boat ramp by OP1. VICTIM's mother took her to shands childrens ER, she was released that night with bruising to her knee.; , VICTIM:Individual was taken to ER for a knee injury. She ended up with bad bruising and used crutches for a few days. No further injury.
