RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 were stopped in Choctawhatchee bay facing opposite directions, approximately 25-30 feet apart.  The Operator of Vessel 2 advised, “Let's go back.”  Vessel 1 then accelerated quickly while turning left.  The operator of Vessel 1 noticed he was heading directly toward Vessel 2.  He let go of the throttle, but was unable to alter course due to off-throttle steering.  Vessel 1 struck Vessel 2 on her left side ejecting and injuring the operator of Vessel 2. Victim sustained a left acetabulum fracture which is a broken hip socket to include a fractured pelvis; this type of injury is consistent with high energy trauma.  She suffered a calcaneus fracture, which is a broken heel bone; this injury is also consistent with a high energy injury.  She sustained compound fractures of the tibia and fibula which is the source of all the blood operator1 saw in the water.  Finally she sustained a bimalleolar ankle fracture, which is a fracture to both sides of the ankle; this injury is consistent with a direct impact trauma to both sides of the ankle.
