RedactedNarrative: On Sunday March 8, 2020 I was dispatched to a boating accident that occurred at 400 NW N River Dr (Casablanca Seafood Restaurant). I arrived on scene at 2011 hrs.
    
  Operator2 provided a written statement in which he states that when he entered V1 there were “two females yelling and shouting”. (See attached) I interviewed and received witness statements from the other occupants from V2, all coinciding. 
  
  I then interviewed and received written statements from the occupants of V1. They were a group of six, four of which were still at the dinner table in the restaurant and two females aboard the vessel.  Operator1 and Subject1 refused to provide written statements but based on their interview they stated that a man was inside the boat with them and operated V1 causing the boating accident. 
  
  I then reviewed the surveillance cameras from Casablanca restaurant. After closely reviewing the video footage of the accident I was able to identify the operator of V1 as Operator1.
  
  The accident occurred in the following matter; the only persons aboard V1 were Operator1 and Subject1. Operator1 was standing in between the two seats behind the helm and Subject1 was standing to her left side behind her. The vessel engages in reverse momentarily and then into forward at which point you see Operator1’s hand on the throttle (picture attached).  
  
  At the time of the collision, subject2 was standing on the platform of V2 untying the dock line when he saw V1 coming towards him as Operator2 the captain of V2 pulled him out of the way. Subject2 stated, “I held myself under the dock to not be killed by the propellers”. Subject2 received a hit to the head but was later cleared by fire rescue. There were three other occupants in the stern of the vessel and were able to move out of the way at the time of collision. 
  
  At this point V2 goes off free floating into the Miami river. Operator2 the captain of V2 enters V1 and gains control of the vessel and brings it back to the dock.  
  
  The captain of V1 stated that he had left the engines off when he exited the vessel and that he doubted the two females had the knowledge to start the engines.  
  
  The damage to V1 were primarily on the bow and some scratches on the port side. The damage to V2 were on the back deck, transom, flybridge, backdoor. V2 also had a black and the blue Seadoo Personal Water Craft located on the platform of V2 which sunk due to the accident. 
  
  Operator of V1 was cited for careless operation and BUI.
