RedactedNarrative: On October 13th, 2020, I Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was on land patrol in Fish Eating Creek Wildlife Management. At approximately 6:45PM, I was dispatched to a vessel accident on the Kissimmee River near State Road 70. 
  
  Upon arriving on scene, I made contact with the two individuals involved in the accident. They explained to me that they were operating Personal Water Crafts (PWC) Northbound on the river, two miles north of SR 70.  
  
  According to Operator1 and Operator2 they were traveling approximately 50 miles per hour with V2 20-40 feet behind V1 and off to V1’s starboard side.  At that time, V1 initiated a right turn to go into an oxbow, while V2 maintained its course, unaware of V1’s change of course.  
  
  V1’s bow struck mid-ship of V2 on its port side ejecting both operators of the PWC’s .  After the collision V2 came to rest on the southern tip of an island along the east bank of the river, and V1 came to rest at the mouth of the oxbow.  Operator1 and Operator2 ended up in the river 20-30 feet apart near the mouth of the oxbow.
  
  According to Operator1 he looked back at V2 before making the turn and estimated that there was approximately 30 feet between V1 and V2 and he believed he had enough room to make the turn. According to Operator2, V1 made an abrupt turn to starboard, not giving him enough time to react to avoid collision.
  
  I did not observe any injuries at the scene, but Operator2 stated that his lower back and his ribs on his back-right side hurt. Operator2 lifted his shirt to show us the area, there was no visible bruising or abrasions. Operator1 stated that he was not injured in the collision.
  
  V1 violated United States Coast Guard (USCG) Navigation Rule 5, Look-out: Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision.
  
  V2 violated USCG Navigation Rule 6, Safe speed: Every vessel shall at all times proceed at a safe speed so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions. In determining a safe speed the following factors shall be among those taken into account:
