While on land patrol on August 31, 2013, at approximately 1511 hrs, FWC dispatch advised of a possible Personal Watercraft (PWC) accident in the vicinity of 22nd Street and Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL. I immediately responded to the scene, arriving at approximately 1528 hrs. 
   After conducting my investigation and gathering all the witness statements from the parties involved, it was determined that the operator of the PWC with registration number FL 5080 PH was operating the vessel carelessly and in a close proximity to the other PWC involved in the accident (FL 9272 PE). The operator of the second PWC was operating its rented vessel with a female passenger onboard when his vessel was impacted from its port side by vessel1. As a result of the collision, which occurred approximately 700 yards from the shoreline, two people were ejected from the vessel2. Operator2 along with one of the PWC rental employees, took v2 occupant to shore where she was later transported to Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach by the City of Miami Beach Fire rescue for treatment (case:2013-16167). V2 occupant was impacted  on her left leg and received a fracture to her left tibia and fibula, she is currently on rehabilitation after receiving surgery at the above mentioned hospital.  
   Subsequently, Operator1 was cited for careless operation of the PWC resulting in an accident (F.S. 327.33 (2)). Only one PWC received minor damages as a result of the collision and it was estimated at $500.00.
