What: Boating Accident, Boat versus three docks
When: Occurrence of accident Approximately 1100 hours 07/30/2023
	On Sunday, 07/30/2023 at approximately 1130 hours, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), was on patrol in a marked patrol vehicle with Officer 2, when we received a call from FWC dispatch about a boating accident at Lighthouse Point. We arrived on scene to the address at approximately 1200 hours. When we arrived on scene there appeared to be three different docks with damage. There was a large vessel (V1) tied off at the dock of third house with damage. 
	We made contact with the operator, OP1 who was identified through FWC dispatch. We also identified the vessel through FWC dispatch as a seventy two foot, thirty-six hundred horsepower twin inboard vessel. He advised that because of a electrical failure, he lost control of the vessel on the ICW(intracoastal waterway) and struck the docks at the listed addresses, as well as the idle speed sign. The owner of V1, was the only other person on board V1 and did not suffer any injuries. All three residences affected, were unoccupied at the time of the vessel accident.
	I took photos of the accident scene from different angles of the vessel, as well as the damage to the docks. Insurance information was presented for the vessel by OP1 and he signed a sworn written statement about what led up to the vessel accident. OP1 had his vessel towed by Tow Boat US and we left the scene without further incident.
