RedactedNarrative: On 07/18/2020, at approximately 1546 hours, V1, a single vessel allision occurred within the St. John’s River, Astor, Volusia County, Florida. V1 is a 24 foot Everglades center console (FL9667MM), powered by a single outboard motor.  V2 was an unknown length vessel. V1 was operated by an adult female and had 7 occupants.
  
  V1 was underway and travelling south on the St. Johns River near Blue Island Channel Marker 24. V1 was navigating a left turn around a bend in the river. V2 was travelling south bound in proximity of V1. As both vessels began negotiating a left hand turn V2 allegedly turned in front of V1 causing V1 to swerve towards the shoreline. V1 subsequently allided with a low hanging tree branch from the eastern bank. V2 continued south bound on the St. John’s River. V1's raised T-Top struck the tree causing V1 to come to a stop. The sudden stop caused Subjects to be thrown forward from their seated position in front of the console. Both Subjects struck their heads on the raised bow platform in V1. Subject1 suffered from a contusion above her left eye. Subject2 suffered from a laceration above his right eye. Both Subjects were transported to the hospital via EVAC in stable condition. V1 sustained approximately $5,000 in damages and was towed by Tow Boat US.
  
  From evidence and statements gathered to date, I conclude the following:
  1.	operator was operating V1 at the time of the accident.
  2.	The river conditions were calm.
  3.	V2 was travelling southbound in the proximity of V1.
  4.	V2 cut in front of V1.
  
  V1’s allision with the tree was a result of V1 attempting to avoid a collision with V2.
  
  I was later notified by Operator that her husband went to the hospital after the incident and was diagnosed with several broken ribs. I was not advised of any claims of injury made by subject3 prior to being contacted by Operator.
  
  Subject2 suffered from a laceration above his right eye. Subject2 was treated by EMS and transported to the hospital in stable condition.
  
  Subject1 suffered from a contusion above her left eye. Subject1 was treated onscene by EMS and transported to the hospital in stable condition.
