RedactedNarrative: V-1 was heading north at approximately 10-15 miles an hour (1650-1700 RPM) as it approached a sharp blind left hand curve in the airboat trail. V-2 was heading southeast on the same airboat trail at about 10-15 miles an hour (approximately 2000 RPM). Both vessels entered the curve at approximately the same time heading in opposing directions. The inside portion of the curve consists of dense brush that extends out to the edge of the trail. Due to the lack of visibility, the vessels were less than 100 feet apart when either vessel was able to see the other. V-1 initially attempted to steer starboard but after seeing the other vessel turn the same direction he turned port. V-2 turned port at first to attempt to give way (undergrowth was too thick on the starboard side) but then turned back starboard when V-1 headed in the same direction. Due to each vessel's speed, the short distance the vessels were apart and the lack of visibility, the two boats collided head on. The bow of V-1 came up over the bow of V-2. Both occupants of V-1 were ejected from the vessel.  Operator1 was ejected into the water and V1 occupant2 was ejected landing in the rear passenger seat of V-2. Operator2 and V2 occupant were ejected from V-2. Operator2 struck the bow of V-1 and then ended up in the water and V2 occupant landed in the water.
  
  All parties assessed the injuries and damages.  Operator1 called 911.
  Brevard County Sheriff's Office assisted in locating the crash site and evacuation of injured parties. Brevard County's Star Unit transported V1 occupant2 from the crash site to the Lake Washington boat ramp so Brevard County Rescue (Medic 66) could transport him to Holmes Regional Medical Center.  Operator2 was returned to the Lake Washington Boat ramp by a civilian with an airboat.  Operator2 was then transported to Holmes Regional Medical Center by Brevard County Rescue (Medic 66).
  
  Both airboats were operational and were driven back to the boat ramp by Operator1 and V2 occupant.
