RedactedNarrative: While on land patrol on 07/19/2015 at approximately 1830 hrs, FWC dispatch advised of a vessel accident with injuries in the vicinity of Homestead Bayfront Park boat ramp. Officer and I immediately responded to the scene, arriving at approximately 1918hrs. 
  
  Upon arriving on-scene, it was determined that the injured party, occupant and owner of vessel 1 (V1), had been cleared by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and advised to go to the hospital on his own. Myself and Officer documented the scene, taking photographs of both vessels involved as well as gathering statements from involved parties. 
  
  Vessel 1 was identified as a 25ft. cabin boat bearing FL4120PN being operated by an off-duty Florida State Trooper. Operator1 stated she was attempting to dock at a slow speed and tried to engage reverse to stop the momentum but the reverse didn’t engage resulting in the bow of vessel 1 colliding with the stern of Vessel 2 and causing a laceration to victim’s forehead. 
  
  Vessel 2 was identified as a 27ft. cabin boat bearing FL0663MY and had no occupant at the time of impact. The owner stated that as he was pulling his vessel out of the water and had already attached the vessel to the trailer, V1 collided with his vessel, climbing up his stern and sliding down towards the pier. Operator2 stated the collision created substantial damage to his stern seat, port quarter side panels and trailer. 
  
  While documenting damage to the vessels, vessel 1 was observed to have scratches on the bow and damaged anchor. Vessel 2 was observed to have substantial damage on the transom, stern seat, port quarter side panels and scratches at the bow. The trailer was also damaged by the impact causing damage to the roller and left side fender. The damage observed corroborates witness statements of both vessels. Areas of damage on both vessels also indicate that vessel 1 struck vessel 2 at the stern under power indicating a failure to avoid collision. 
  
  After gathering witness statements, taking photographs and conducting boating safety equipment inspections on vessel 1, I provided contact and case number information to involved parties. Due to a large fight at the boat ramp that interrupted our investigation I dismissed the involved parties and issued a citation to Operator1 on Tuesday 07/21/2015 for careless operation of vessel F.S 327.33(2).
