Emily Lewis was among 12 people taken to hospital after a sightseeing boat collided with a buoy in the Solent on August 22 last year. The teenager was "thrown violently forward" from her seat, according to the report – which found the boat had not been following "safe working practices". The rigid inflatable boat (RIB) crashed into the North-West Netley buoy in Southampton Water at a speed of 38.4 knots.

"The skipper was operating single-handedly at high speed and did not see the navigation buoy, which was directly ahead, for 10 seconds before impact."
