RedactedNarrative: V-1 along with two passengers were traveling up the Suwannee River along the southeast shoreline. V-2 along with three passengers left the Suwannee Marina Boat Ramp and traveled across the Suwannee River and turned downriver along the southeast shoreline. Both vessels were on a head on course and failed to see each other in time to avoid a collision. 
   
  V-2’s operator observed V-1 at the last moment and attempted to steer to the port to avoid the collision. V-1 and V-2 impacted on their starboard sides approximately 3 feet from the bow. V-1‘s bow traveled up and over V-2’s starboard gunnel continuing across to the motor and exited the stern area. Upon initial impact V-1’s front seat passenger was ejected. 
   
  V-2’s operator was struck in the upper body and head by V-1’s starboard bow and thrown between V-2’s motor and port stern leaving him unconscious and partially in the water.  Upon V-1 exiting over V-2’s stern the port side gunnel went under water causing it to roll and capsize, ejecting all four occupants. No one in either vessel was wearing a life jacket at the time of the incident. V-2 occupants were able to cling to their upside down vessel while V-1 assisted in recovery efforts. V-1 towed V-2 and occupants to Miller’s Marina where Dixie EMS treated and transported V-2 operator to North Florida Regional Medical Center for non life threatening injuries. 
   
  Operator2 sustained a 1'' cut to the head (top left) and multiple contusions to the face,head and left upper arm.
