  On the above date I, Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), responded to a call regarding a boating accident which occurred 13 miles offshore of Port Canaveral. I arrived at Scorpion Marina at 3.00 pm. USCG Boarding Officer was on scene and advised me that the accident involved two (2) vessels colliding approximately 13 miles offshore.  
   
  Vessel 1 FL-1775-LK were escorted by USCG to Scorpion Marina. USCG escorted Vessel 1 as it sustained a foot long hole in the port side hull and was taking on water. Upon arriving at Scorpion Marina, Vessel 1 was lifted from water and placed on the rack at Scorpion.
   
  At 3:00 pm, 4-30-16 I was notified by USCG that the operator and two (2) passengers of Vessel 2 FL-2560-HL were at Jetty Park. When I arrived at 3:15 pm, the operator of Vessel 2 was being transported by Brevard County EMS to Cape Canaveral Hospital.   Victim was treated and released that night for contusions, sprain strain to back.
   
  Passenger #3 of Vessel 2 stated they were traveling westbound toward Port Canaveral about 5-10 mph trolling for fish. V2 occupant3 stated they noticed Vessel 1 heading in the direction of their back starboard side. V2 occupant3 stated he tried to turn his vessel away from Vessel #1 but it was too late. He stated Vessel 1 collided with them ejecting all from the vessel. Vessel 2 then capsized.  A Good Samaritan picked up all passengers of Vessel 2 and transported them to Jetty Park.  
   
  The FWC Seahawk at about 4:25 pm, arrived on scene approximately 13 miles offshore of Port Canaveral, site of the collision. Lt of FWC verified the location (see noted map) of capsized Vessel 2. Lt and Officer were advised by USCG to leave the vessel offshore and USCG will mark the capsized vessel.
