RedactedNarrative: I, Officer, of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was assigned a boating accident on 4-25-2016 at approximately 0900hrs. The accident occurred the day prior on 4-24-2016 at approximately 1248hrs. Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) Deputy responded to the call and spoke to both parties and gathered contact information for everyone involved. I met with Deputy to get the information he collected. He stated that nobody required medical attention.
  
  I then contacted and met with the operators of both vessels involved to get sworn written statements and take photographs of the damages to each vessel. After getting information from both parties and assessing the damage to both vessels I was able to determine that vessel 2 (Boston Whaler) was on plane (approximately 20mph) traveling North bound on the Miami Canal, with vessel 1 (Yamaha PWC) also on plane (approximately 30mph) traveling North bound on the Miami Canal. 
  
  Vessel 2 then slowed down (approximately 10mph) as an oncoming vessel approached from the South. Vessel 1 was traveling too close behind vessel 2 which did not give the operator of vessel 1 enough time to slow down to avoid hitting and ramping over the back of vessel 2. 
  
  Vessel 1 impacted the rear of vessel 2 at the motor causing vessel 1 to come out of the water and continue forward on top of vessel 2 striking the operator and the center console. Vessel 1 continued forward where it exited vessel 2 on the front port side. The operator of vessel 1 was issued a citation for carless operation.
