RedactedNarrative: The operator and single occupant of V2 was later identified at Blake Hospital. While speaking with Operator1 she stated the accident occurred as she was following V2 south along the beach. She stated the were traveling quickly (approximately 40mph by the passenger account) when V2 slowed in front of her and she reacted by letting off the throttle to attempt to slow and avoid a collision with V2. 
  
  However, by decreasing the throttle it did not allow for steerage of V1 causing it to collide with V2. V1 impacted V2 on its stern and continued to travel along the rear starboard side for approximately two feet based off the damage observed on V2. 
  
  All occupants from both vessels were ejected during the collision. Once Operator1 and occupant on v1 realized Operator2 was injured they placed him on V1 and transported him to shore where they met EMS, who later transported Operator2 to Black Hospital. I spoke with Operator2 at the hospital and his account of the accident corroborated Operator1’s. Operator2 was treated for his injures at the hospital and later released after being diagnosed with a fractured elbow, ribs, and vertebrae. Occupant on v1 sustained a contusion to his right shin.
