RedactedNarrative: On Tuesday, July 14th, 2022, at approximately 1813 hours, I Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, was on routine land patrol near Crandon Boat Ramp, located in Miami-Dade County.
  	
  	I received a call for a delayed boating accident on the Southeast side of NE 79th St, involving two (2) personal watercrafts (PWCs) and minor injuries to one operator. The PWCs involved, (FL 6966 ST) (V1) and (FL 4047 TB) (V2), were both rented from Bluewater Jetskis and Boats LLC. Both PWCs were owned the same person. 
   	
  	When I received the call, I was told the rental staff were still on scene and one subject was being transported to Mount Sinai. I got on a patrol vessel with Lieutenant to search the area for any evidence of the accident and to speak with the rental operators. Upon our arrival we found no sign of the accident as well as no one on scene. We found a Pontoon boat (FL 1568 DG) displaying the company’s logo. We attempted to contact the phone number provided but were put straight to voicemail.
  
  	Lieutenant. went to the hospital to interview the victim and his girlfriend who witnessed the accident. While at the hospital Lt. received a sworn written statement from both the victim and the witness. Officer went to residence to conduct an interview as well.
  
  	Once we gathered the information from all the involved parties, I discovered that, Operator2 (Victim), was on V2, near the Southeast end of NE 79th St. The victim was not under power at the time of the accident. The victim and the witness stated that the victim was sitting still on V2 while the operator of V1 was approaching on plane. 
  
  V1 was coming close to V2 and made a sharp right turn close to V2 in attempt to avoid collision. V1 did not turn soon enough and when making the turn, side swiped V2, making contact between V1’s port side and V2’s port side. The collision resulted in a laceration on the left thigh of the operator (victim) of V2. The victim was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital and was treated with stitches.
  
  Nothing further.
