SYNOPSIS

On August 8, 2012 at approximately 1532 hours, a collision occurred between two Personal Watercraft (PWCs) on Lake Weir, Marion County, FL.  The PWCs were being operated by two male juveniles and one juvenile passenger onboard each PWC. The PWCs were traveling on plane in close proximity while operating in an unreasonable manner attempting to splash each other with water. Just prior to colliding together one of the PWCs made a sharp turn in the direct path of the other causing them to collide. All four juveniles were ejected into the water. The operator of one of the PWCs was temporarily unresponsive in the water after being ejected and was transported to Carney Island Park where he was taken by Life Flight to Shands Hospital in Gainesville for evaluation and treatment. 
On the day of the accident the victim's father claimed ownership of the two PWCs (V1,V2) but were later found to be registered to separate owners.

The victim was admitted to Shands Hospital in Gainesville for evaluation and treatment of his injuries. While at the hospital the victim had multiple test done to check for any injuries and all tests came back with negative results for any injuries internal or external. The victim was released after a 24hr evaluation from the hospital and received pain medication for minor neck and leg injuries.
