RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, August 22nd, 2020, at approximately 1525 hours, vessel accident FWCS20OFF013537 occurred within Florida’s state waters at Quinn’s on the Beach on Marco Island, in Collier County, Florida. The accident involved two Personal Watercrafts (PWCS) that are commercially operated through HOFFMANN WATER SPORTS LLC. 
  
  V2’s bow collided with V1’s bow in a ramping action. Two passengers on V2 sustained injuries and were transported to the hospital. There was minor damage to both PWCs. 
  
  V1 was traveling south at approximately 10-15mph on plane approximately 30 feet behind V2 when V2 stopped and took a slight left turn. 
  
  V1 tried to avoid V2 by turning left but ended up colliding bow to bow with V2 in a ramping action. The physical damage supports this analysis. On V2, we can see a clear direction of impact. There is an abrasion line on the fiberglass, located at the bow of V2 and tracks up all the way to the handlebars. V1 has a clear point of impact near the rub rail at the center of the bow. There is fiberglass damage to the hull of V2. The physical damage confirms that V1 ramped V2. 
  
  Subject confirmed that V1 was following too closely to V2. He stated that he did instruct the operators to stay approximately 100 yards away from each other and was about to go address the operator of V1 for following too closely. This accident was avoidable if the operator of V1 was following at a safe distance. 
  
  Injury Assessment
  Operator2 sustained 2 broken bones in his left arm, one being in his wrist and the other being in his hand. V2 occupant also sustained injuries in her left shoulder. She suffered from a abrasion and a torn muscle.;
