RedactedNarrative: On November 26, 2016, I, Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was on state land patrol in Monroe County, Florida. At approximately 1500 hours our dispatch center advised of a boating accident with injuries near mile marker 74 on the Atlantic Ocean side in Monroe County, Florida. Lieutenant also with FWC responded to the scene to take pictures of the vessel and get statements from those that saw the accident. EMS was on scene to transport the victim who was identified. 
  
  The victims father who was identified was not injured in the accident but was solely a witness. At the scene it was decided that EMS was not to transport Victim to the hospital and that his parents were going to do so. I responded to Mariners Hospital in Tavernier, Florida and arrived there at approximately 1530 hours to wait for the victim to arrive. Once Victim and his parents arrived at the hospital he was admitted for treatment. 
  
  I then interviewed Victim’s father as to what happened during the accident. The witness stated to me that  Victim was on Florida vessel FL 5901 NC and he was on Florida vessel FL 5905 NC behind the victim and they both were heading southwest out of a marked channel. That is when Victim proceeded to accelerate his jet ski and change direction, he then lost control and struck the last green channel marker (#1) at the entrance of the channel. The channel marker then broke striking the victim on the head causing him to fall in the water. The witness then got Victim out of the water and took him to shore and then to Mariners Hospital. 
  
      	At the hospital the doctors ran a few tests on Victim and performed a CAT scan of his head. It was then discovered that Victim had a hematoma in his brain and that he was to be flown to Ryder Trauma Center in Miami, Florida. While at the hospital Victim was alert and was able to answer all my questions as to what happened. Victim stated to me that he remembered changing speed and direction and the next thing he remembers was being in the water. He also stated to me that he remembered his head ringing real bad and then being back on shore. Victim also sustained a few lacerations to his right side of his head where the channel marker struck his head. The doctors at Mariners Hospital stated to me that none of his injuries were life threatening and that he was being flown to Ryder Trauma Center as a precaution.
  
  	On Sunday November 27, 2016 I called Ryder Trauma Center and spoke with the nurse there to check up on Victim and the staff there stated to me that Victim was in stable condition and that they expect him to make a full recovery. Victim did not sustain any other injuries to his body besides the head injury and the lacerations to his face and head.
