Two people, who were here on vacation together from the Ukraine, rented PWCs from a rental company at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. At approximately 1545 hrs after cruising for a few minutes, they decided to get together and ride side by side in a southerly direction as they talked. due to inattention, inexperience and excessive speed at close proximity, V1 and V2 collided. V1's bow struck V2's starboard side. V2s operator suffered a broken femur and several contusions to her right leg. Ocean rescue rendered aid and EMS transported her to Jackson Memorial. Operator1 left the country later that afternoon and I was not able to make contact with him before his departure. All the information I was able to obtain on him, was provided by Operator2 who obtained several contusions and a broken femur (right leg) due the impact with the other PWC. She was admitted to Jackson Memorial where she was going to have surgery the 6th.
