RedactedNarrative: On August 11, 2013 at approximately 2:44 pm, FWC Dispatch Miami received a call of a boating accident in the area of ocean side of Boca Chita. The Florida registered vessel bearing ( FL 9720 EY) was on the South side of the Island snorkeling. At that time everyone was in the water snorkeling and they heard Victim scream that he was hit by a boat. The swimmers from (FL 9720 EY) helped Victim by taking him to the boat and transported him to the area of Sands Cut sand bar. They called on VHF Channel 16 to report the accident. Miami Dade Marine Patrol, Biscayne National Park Service, and Coast Guard Air rescue responded to the scene. Coast Guard Air rescue transported Victim to Jackson Memorial hospital for treatment.
  
  I was notified at approximately 3:00 pm of the accident and responded to Black Point boat ramp where I met with the witnesses of the accident. The witnesses from the accident stated that they were all in the water snorkeling and only heard Victim scream that he was hit. They all said they only saw a white vessel about 16-18 feet in the area. The alleged vessel left the scene continuing out into the ocean. We were unable to locate the vessel due to lack of vessel description we were provided with.  
  
  Dr. treated Victim at Ryder Trauma. According to him, the cuts that the victim sustained were not life-threatening but Victim will receive stitches. Victim received a six inch long cut to his right thigh, a three inch long cut to his right ankle and a two inch long cut to his left thigh (see photos). The x-rays revealed that Victim suffered no broken bones during the accident. He was unable to see the vessel that impacted him. But, he claims that he was located a short distance away from his boat.
