A father & daughter were riding a borrowed personal watercraft (pwc)#2 in a northerly direction when they encountered boat #1 traveling westbound at about 25 mph. Boat#1  struck pwc#2 on the near rear starboard side. The collision injured the daughter and fatally injured the pwc operator-father when he was  ejected from the collision & made contact with the boat#1 propeller. The injured father was transported to lakeland hospital where he was pronounced dead by the coroner due to severe trauma.  The daughter was transported to lakeland hospital with complaint of chest pain. The investigation determined from witness accounts, boat#1 had the navigation right of way. The pwc#2 operator should have slowed down and gave way to boat#1 when it was almost in their direct path.
