RedactedNarrative: On 6/24/2014 at approximately 0340 AM I was contacted by Dispatch and advised of a boating accident in Newfound Harbor off Big Pine Key. I arrived at the accident scene at approximately 0444 AM. When I arrived at the scene, New Found Harbor approximately 1/2 mile off sure of Sea Base on the West side of Big Pine Key, I observed a small center console boat with it's bow imbedded into the port bow of a sailboat. A patrol boat from USCG Marathon was already on scene. 
  
  USCG advised that the occupant of the striking vessel (center console) had fled the scene before they arrived. When I spoke to the occupant of the sailboat, he stated that he was awakened at approximately 0230 AM by the impact. V2 occupant said that when he went on deck he saw the center console imbedded into the bow of his sailboat and the WM occupant of the center console dazed but apparently ok. V2 occupant said that he went below to call 911 and when he returned on deck the occupant of the center console was gone, but that the impacted boat was still there. 
  
  V2 occupant stated the he was uninjured and did not require medical attention. 
  
  Officer tried to make contact with the registrant of the striking vessel, FL9021EJ, 1982 16' Sport Craft at his home, which was located less than 2 miles from the crash scene, but nobody answered the door. The Sport Craft's windshield Plexiglas was dislodged and laying in the bow section, the windshield frame was bent forward, and the GPS unit was broken off from it's mount. No blood or other signs of injury were observed on the Sport Craft. 
  
  The impacted vessel, DO1088321, 1977 30' Central Marine Fiberglass sailboat was registered to the occupant, V2 occupant. The sailboat had impact damage on the port bow in the form of a hole approximately 4 feet wide by 3 feet tall, and impact cracks on the starboard bow, both from the impact of the Sport Craft. 
  
  At approximately 0800 AM MCSO advised that they had located Operator1 at his residence on Elma Street. Myself and Officer arrived at Operator1' residence at approximately 0820 AM to speak with Operator1. I read Operator1 his Miranda Rights and asked him if he wished to speak with me about the crash. Operator1 said he did wish to speak with me. Operator1 stated (orally and via written statement) that he was coming back from Picnic Island and was texting on his phone when he impacted the sailboat. Operator1 said after the impact that he got scared and swam to shore. 
  
  Operator1 was issued citation #V426824 F.S.S. 327.30(2) Failure to report accident with damage over $2,000. And citation V426825 F.S.S. 327.33(3)(b) Violation of Navigation Rule, Rule #5 Failure to maintain proper lookout.
