The night of August 8th, 2023, a vessel bearing Florida Registration ramped across and lodged into a dock on the east side of Lake Weir. There were 3 occupants on board. There were no wheel witnesses. Statements from occupants onboard confict as to who was driving at the time of the accident. 
Upon arrival I spoke with Rescue Crew #1. RESCUE CREW #1 was part of the rescue crew that was on scene then transported both female subjects. RESCUE CREW #1 advised that the position of VICTIM 1 in the drivers’ seat of the boat seemed suspect (which he detailed in a sworn statement, see attached). I proceeded into the hospital where I met with PAX 1. PAX 1 advised that herself and VICTIM 1 met with a male subject possibly of Haitian decent with a name of OP1 earlier in the day at his boat. PAX 1 advised that they were on the boat for approximately an hour and a half before the accident. PAX 1 said that at the time of the accident she was sitting in the middle of the back seat of the boat with VICTIM 1 also in the back seat immediately to her right. PAX 1 said that at the time of the accident OP1 was driving. PAX 1 advised that all of them were drinking during the boat ride and that throughout the day all of them had drove the boat. When asked to complete a sworn statement PAX 1 did not think she would be able to write a statement, so I transcribed her statement (see attached). VICTIM 1 was asleep and hospital staff advised me not to wake her up. The only known injuries were to her head where she had a contusion on her forehead and a small laceration to her lip. ; VICTIM sustained injuries to the head and face
