RedactedNarrative: On July 4th, 2020, two individuals were operating Personal Watercrafts in the Choctawhatchee Bay heading West toward the Brooks Bridge in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.  
  
  Vessel 2 transitioned back to a drift from planning speeds while vessel 1 followed close behind. Vessel 1 began his transition back to Idle speed but during this transition he did not have enough space to fully slow down. 
  
  Vessel 1 collided with Vessel 2 on the port side also striking Operator 2 in the leg. Operator 2 sustained 2 broken bones below the knee on her left leg. Operator 2 was ejected from the ski at this time.
