On July 2, 2023, a hit and run boat crash took place on the Indian River at Horseshoe Crab Island.
Prior to the crash, two personal watercraft were riding at high speed and recklessly near the swimmers at the Island's shoreline.  During this time, some on the beachgoers yelled at the watercraft including OP2.  One watercraft drove over to OP2 who was standing on the island near his beached vessel and exchanged words.  The unknown operator of the vessel then left and returned minutes with several other watercraft, and began threatening and taunting OP2.  OP2 got off his vessel and retreated onto the island.  At this time, the primary aggressor of the group attempted to spray water with his watercraft and while swinging his vessel around, he struck OP2's beached vessel.  The striking (hit and run) vessel along with the other vessels left the scene and were last seen heading towards Parrish Park Boat Ramp.
