RedactedNarrative: On August 10, 2019 at approximately 1430 hours, I, Officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission responded to a double vessel accident occurring on Lake Brantley in Seminole County, Florida. At approximately 1430 hours, Operator1, and Subject were riding their father’s 11’ personal watercraft, (V-1), and Operator1 was the operator.  Operator2, a friend of their father, was also operating his 11’ Yamaha personal watercraft, (V-2) alongside of them.  
  
  At approximately 1420 hours, Operator2, was operating in close proximity to V-1 headed northeast on the lake.  Operator2 was slightly behind V-1, on its port side. Both vessels were stated to be going consistently at approximately 45-55 mph.  As V-1 approached the northern shoreline of the lake, a turn over its port side was necessary in order to keep from colliding with shore.  
  
  Passenger of V-1 observed Operator2 remaining in close proximity and signaled by hand, with her palm out to back up and slow down.  Operator of V-1, Operator1 made sure to consistently look in her mirrors and over her shoulder to identify Operator2’s location.  Due to the northeast shoreline and residences both straight ahead, and on right side of V-1, Operator1 had to make a left turn to avoid collision.  Operator1 made an approximately 45 degree turn over her port side.  Operator2 was at this time going approximately 50-55 mph and stated he attempted to slow down but did not have ample amount of time to avoid collision.  Operator2, on V-2 struck V-1 at a high rate of speed causing both passengers Operator1, and Subject to be ejected from vessel.  Passenger of V-1 sustained injuries from vessel impact causing injury to her left fibula
  
  Subject was brought onto V-2 with Operator2 and taken to a nearby dock and pavilion where other friends of father were located.  Operator1 was brought back to same location by good Samaritan that was unable to be identified.  A family friend applied tourniquet to Subjects leg immediately upon arrival back to beached pavilion area.  Emergency response was notified and transported Subject to Arnold Palmer Hospital by land.  
  
  Subject’s injury was a severed ankle/fibula which was not deemed to be “serious bodily injury”.  All other subjects acquired no injuries and refused immediate medical attention.
