RedactedNarrative: French tourist was struck by a PWC operated by another tourist. Delayed report of injury.
  
  On 10-27-17 at approximately 1330 hours, I of The Florida Fish Wildlife Commission, was on duty in Monroe County State of Florida. I was on patrol in uniform, in a marked vehicle when I was dispatched to a boating accident with injuries. 
  
  	I contacted the reporting party who stated that a French tourist had left in an ambulance from his hotel, and had told him that he had been injured on a PWC tour. I tracked down the PWC group which was Fury Water Sports. I talked with the tour guide who stated that he had finished a tour earlier, but that no one had reported any injuries or a crash to him. I inspected all of the PWC’s but could not find any damage to the craft or anything to document on them reference the crash.
  
  	At this time, Ofc. of the FWC called me and stated that she was meeting with the victim, Victim at the hospital on Stock Island. Victim had been operating a PWC (FL9162RD)(V1) Due to Victim not speaking English, a translator at the hospital provided her services. Victim stated that during free time on the PWC he had been struck in the hip by a fellow tourist on accident. He did not report the injury because he did not know the tour guide had asked about injuries. Due to the translator being unable to write a statement for Victim, information collected from him could not be written down. Also due to the type of injury (broken hip) no pictures were taken.
  
  	I received a phone call from a tour guide; a few minutes later and she stated that she had the operator of the striking vessel with her at the hotel that had reported the accident. I arrived on scene  where I met with her who introduced me to Operator2 who had been operating one of the PWC’s (FL2202RF)(V2) With subject as a translator, I could gather that Operator2 had accidently struck Victim when he lost control while trying to turn. I had her write down Operator2’s statement and had him sign it. ;
