RedactedNarrative: On Monday, July 26th, 2021, I was dispatched to a call reference two PWC's colliding near Pace Picnic islands at approximately 2000hrs. I responded where I was informed the victim would be picked up by EMS from water. Once I arrived I was informed by Miami Beach PD that the victim was transported to Ryder Trauma by Fire Rescue # 2 at approximately 1956hrs. Miami Beach PD also informed me that the call came in at approximately 1948hrs and FWC was not notified until 2000hrs. 
  Shortly afterwards the operator of the striking vessel walked up to me to inform me that he and the operator of the struck vessel left their belongings in the PWC's after they where transported to shore by a near by vessel. I identified the operator of the striking vessel (V1) as OP1 and the operator or the struck vessel (V2) as OP2. OP1 explained to me that he and his friends including OP2 was put into connection with an unknown individual to rent PWC's. OP1 stated that he was contacted by the owner of the PWC that OP2 was operating PWC OWNER and informed to meet him at 79th Street Boat Ramp. PWC OWNER then transported them to Pace Picnic islands where they used Cash App to pay PWC OWNER $150 each to rent his PWC's illegally. 
  OP1 stated that he and OP2 had little to no experience operating PWC's and was not given and instructions on the safe handling of PWC's before operating. I asked OP1 how the accident occurred and he stated OP2 was sitting still (drifting) on (V2) while he was on plane operating (V1) within close proximity to the left side of OP2 PWC (V2), when OP2 accidentally accelerated (V2) forward while taking a left hand turn and OP1 collided with the Port side of OP2's PWC striking his lower left hip, leaving a laceration that caused him to fall off the PWC. OP1 stated that immediately after the accident PWC OWNER demanded his PFD's and PWC's back and they where offered a ride to shore by a close by vessel that witnessed the accident. 
  OP1 stated that as soon as they made it to land they called 911 and the vessel operator left the scene. I radioed for a back up Officer to come by vessel and search for the PWC's and renter. Officers searched the island and advised the renter took the PWC's and left the scene. At approximately 2200hrs I cleared the scene and headed to Ryder Trauma Center to meet with the struck victim OP2. I arrived at Ryder Trauma at approximately 2234hrs and met with OP2 as he was being treated for his injuries. 
  I asked OP2 what had happened and he stated that he was picked up from the boat ramp by a PWC renter and was taken to the island, when he arrived OP2 stated he paid the renter $150 using cash app and was given a PWC to ride. OP2 was able to provide me with pictures/videos of him and OP1 operating the PWC's before the accident occurred. OP2 stated he was sitting still on the PWC (V2) then decided to throttle forward and that is when OP1 (V1) made contact with the Port side of his PWC and striking him in his left hip area. OP2 stated that the impact knocked him off of his PWC but he was wearing his PFD and was able to swim. OP2 also stated his friends observed blood coming from his left hip and that's when he noticed the laceration. 
  OP2 stated he was offered a ride to shore from a near by vessel and transported to Ryder Trauma by EMS. I provided OP2 and OP1 with a business card containing the agency case number and my contact information. I also informed them that renting PWC's from illegal livery operators is a big problem and educated them on some of the requirements renters are responsible for.
