ST. PETERSBURG - A 34-foot boat slammed into a concrete sea wall late Sunday, sending two children to All Children's Hospital and four adults to Bayfront Medical Center, all with non life-threatening injuries, said Lt. Rick Feinberg of St. Petersburg Fire Rescue.

The accident occurred about 8:10 p.m. at the jetties by Bayboro Harbor in downtown St. Petersburg, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Danielle DeMarino.

The boat operator was initially unconscious. Other injuries included a broken shoulder, a broken leg and a broken arm, dispatchers said. The Always & All Waves boat is registered to a St. Petersburg address, Feinberg said.
