RedactedNarrative: While on water patrol on 16 June 2013 at approximately 1811 hrs FWC dispatch advised of a personal watercraft (PWC) VS. vessel accident in the vicinity of Bear Cut, ocean side. Ofc and I  immediately responded to the scene, which by that time was relocated to nearby Crandon Park marina, arriving at approximately 1836 hrs. 
  After conducting the investigation and gathering witness statements from the parties involved, it was determined that the operator of the PWC, Operator1 was operating the vessel erratically for approximately 10 minutes before the accident took place. He was driving the vessel at a high rate of speed with a female passenger on board. 
  
  The operator of the 23' vessel, which was on an eastbound course, observed the PWC closing its distance in relation to his vessel and decided to take evasive action by reducing its speed to avoid a collision. Operator1 did not see the 23' vessel and collided with its starboard side, causing him and his female passenger to be ejected from the PWC. He was able to return to the PWC but V1 occupant was unresponsive floating upside down in the water for approximately one minute. 
  
  The operator of the 23' vessel, Operator2, asked Operator1 if he was going to jump back in the water to help her and he said that he was not. Subsequently, Operator2 jumped in the water and with the help of his friend and passenger, V2 occupant, was able to bring the female on board his 23' vessel and headed back to the marina where he called 911. Fire rescue immediately transported the injured parties, V1 occupant and Operator1 to Jackson Memorial Hospital. Operator1 and V1 occupant were admitted at 1858 hrs. Operator1 was released at 0311 hrs on 17 June 2013 after his complaint of flank pain was found to be non-life threatening. V1 occupant, however, spent several days in the hospital due to a serious concussion, cuts, a fracture left clavicle, a fracture pelvis, and was unconscious when she arrived to the hospital. She later regained consciousness but is still unable to remember how the accident occurred. V1 occupant has been released from the hospital and is going through an extensive rehabilitation process while her multiple bone fractures heal.
  
  Operator1 consented to a blood withdrawal which did not reveal the presence of alcohol in his blood at the time of the accident.  
  
  During the course of is investigation it was discovered that Operator1 has two current injunctions for protection against him which were petitioned by his passenger, V1 occupant and her father. These injunctions were granted by Judge from the Miami-Dade County Domestic Violence Division, case: 13-013440-FC-04. 
  On 22 August 2013 at approximately 1340 hrs, LT. and I arrested Operator1 and transported him to T.G.K. for violating Navigational Rule No. 5 Failure to Maintain a Proper Lookout Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury/Accident (F.S. 327.33 (3) (a)) and Violation of a Protection Order (F.S. 784.047).
