RedactedNarrative: On 06/19/2015 at approximately 1240 hr., I officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was dispatched by FWC dispatch to a jet ski accident involving two vessels and two operators in the Banana River just North of the 520 bridge in Brevard County. I arrived by boat on scene at approximately 1259 HR I saw two witnesses who had called in the complainant who said that the victim had been taken on to a good Samaritans boat to the Jet Ski rental they had come from. Upon arrival there I observed the victim later identified by his Nevada Driver license, on the deck of a Good Samaritan’s boat being attended to by an Off Duty Paramedic late identified by his Florida Driver License. I assisted Good sam Until Paramedics arrived to transport Operator2 to the Hospital at approximately 1315 HR.  
  
  I photographed the vessels for evidence purposes and gathered the contact information for the witnesses before departing to the hospital. Upon arrival at Holmes Medical Center I waited until Operator2 had been treated and found that Operator2 had been given medication and was unable to give a statement at the time. I was unable to find Operator1 at the Hospital. 
  
  On 06/20/15 at Approximately 1000 hr. I arrived at Holmes Medical Center to interview Operator2. Operator2 provided a statement indicating that he and Operator1 were talking on rented Jet Skis approximately 100 ft. apart with Operator2’s vessel facing North South on the River and Operator1’s Vessel facing Him with his vessel bow to the East. Operator2 stated that they had decided to go and Operator1 stated to go first and struck Operator2 and his vessel on the port side hitting Operator2 on the left Leg. Operator2 provided a written statement indicating much of the same, as well as the contact information for Operator1. 
  
  I contacted Operator1 by phone and made arrangements to meet with him at the Cocoa Beach Hilton where he was staying. I arrived at the Hilton at approximately 1030 Hr. and meet with Operator1 in the lobby. Operator1 Stated that he and Operator2 were sitting talking facing west when they decided to go. Operator1 stated that he was trying to "catch his wave" and struck Operator2s Vessel on the port side sending them both "air born” Operator1 stated that when the surfaced they realized that Operator2s leg was broken and Operator1 attempted to help Operator2. Operator1 provided a written statement indicating much of the same. 
  
  On 06/20/15 at approximately 1300 HR I interviewed witnesses at their home. Witness1 indicate that he observed two jet skis "impact" each other "port to port" while "having fun". Witness1 provided a written statement indicating much of the same. Witness1 stated that she saw to jet skiers collide at "fast speed" and saw a seat fly in the air. Witness2 provided a written statement as well. 
  
  In conclusion with the physical evidence available taking into account the damage to the vessels, the injury to Operator2 and all of the statements I found that Operator1 was at fault in this accident due to Violation of Navigation rules #8 (Failure to avoid collision and rule #16 (Action by giveway vessel)). I issued Operator1 a Citation for the offence.
