On 9/3/12, I responded to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma regarding a Personal Water Craft (PWC) accident which occurred in Key West.
I arrived at approximately 4:30pm and met with the victim. She is identified as Victim, on vacation from California. She was participating in a water tour of the area while operating the PWC, she approached Boca Chica Bridge. She stated that, as she approached she became nervous and was unsure what to do. She accelerated and struck the bridge head on; she flipped over the handle bars and struck the bridge with her hands and shoulder.
