RedactedNarrative: Vessel 2 was traveling north while in the ICW of Little Sarasota Bay.  Vessel 1 was traveling north in front of Vessel 2.  The operator of Vessel 1 slowed his speed and attempted to turn south when he struck vessel 2 causing the crash.
  
  Upon my arrival at Vamo I spoke with the operator of Vessel 2 who stated he was traveling north in his vessel with his wife in the ICW at Little Sarasota Bay at approximately 25 mph when his vessel was passed by several Personal Watercraft (PWC).  Operator 2 stated Vessel 1 (PWC) jumped his wake off of his port side and passed him in the ICW.  Vessel 1 then circled around and began traveling south while another vessel approached from the north while traveling south.  Operator 2 stated Vessel 1 jumped the port side wake of the south bound vessel and struck his vessel upon landing.  The operator of Vessel 1, was ejected, flew into the air and struck vessel 2 with his body and landed face first in the water.  Operator 1 remained face down in the water for several seconds then rolled over and remained floating face up.  Operator 2 drove around to Operator 1 and assisted him onto Vessel 2 at which point Operator 2 drove the vessel to the Vamo Boat ramp where Operator 1 was examined by Sarasota County EMS.  Operator 1 sustained several fractured ribs (6-9) and a large contusion on his right leg.
