RedactedNarrative: According to witness, the owner of Island Jet Ski, the two pwc's involved in this vessel accident were southbound in the ICW near marker 48.  While traveling at approximately 25-30 mph, the operator of vessel 1 made an abrupt and extremely sharp turn to the left.  This abrupt and extremely sharp turn caused the injured (subsequently) occupant and operator to be thrown off of vessel 1.  While continuing to also travel southbound in the ICW near marker 48 at approximately 25-30 mph, vessel 2, traveling behind vessel 1, attempted to turn away (left) from the occupant now in the water but failed to do so in a timely manner and struck the occupant of vessel 1, causing injuries.
  While at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, the operator of vessel 1 stated that he did not make an abrupt and extremely sharp turn to the left but struck a large vessel wake while traveling at an unknown speed and "went airborne".  This action caused the operator and occupant to be thrown from vessel 1.  Shortly thereafter, the occupant of vessel 1 was struck by vessel 2.  The injured occupant, several days after leaving Sarasota Memorial Hospital, via cell phone, did state that she was thrown from vessel 1 after "hitting a wave" and "going pretty fast".  She stated that she was struck by vessel 2 while she was in the water.
  Several attempts have been made to get in touch with and speak with the operator of vessel 2.  As of this report, no contact has been made.
