Three people have been taken to hospital after a speedboat crashed in a harbour.
Police said the boat was found in Gosport Marina on Saturday, shortly before 23:00 BST.
The vessel had collided with the harbour wall in Cowes earlier the same evening, before sailing to the mainland, the force said.
Those injured remain in hospital but their conditions are not considered life-threatening at the current time.

Cowes RNLI said its lifeboat, along with coastguard teams and a helicopter, were called to search for a crashed boat in East Cowes at 21:45.
The extensive search covered East Cowes breakwater and a stretch of the River Medina near the floating bridge.
The RNLI said the search was called off after nearly two hours after crews found no sign of the boat or anyone in distress.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said it was investigating.

Correction 25 April: This article was amended after a previous version wrongly stated the crash happened in Gosport Marina, as first reported by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary. It has since been confirmed by police and Cowes Harbour Master that this detail was incorrect and although the boat was found in Gosport Marina, the crash happened off Cowes.
