RedactedNarrative: On Sunday, May 26, 2019 at approximately 1740 hours, a two-vessel boating accident occurred in Big Carlos Pass (Lee County). V-1 and V-2 were heading offshore in the channel and alongside each other, when V-1 turned into the path of V-2, causing V-2 to run over V-1. Both vessels sustained damages and two occupants of V-1 sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Contributing factors were improper lookouts on both vessels, and the sharp turn of V-1 into the path of V-2.
  Based on my investigation, I determined that V-1 (jet boat) and V-2 (offshore boat) were headed west out of Big Carlos pass at approximately 25 miles per hour when V-1 made a sharp turn to the right, and into the path of V-2. A period of time long enough for the occupants of V-1 to observe the situation and wave, and estimated at five seconds by a witness, elapsed before the collision occurred. At the time of the collision, V-2 struck the bow of V-1, displacing V-1 and causing V-2 to rise up and over V-1. This collision resulted in significant damages to V-1, and non-life-threatening injuries to two occupants of V-1. 
  
  I determined that the accident was caused by an improper lookout by the operators of both vessels, coupled with the sharp turn of V-1. The operator of V-1 should have been more aware of his surrounding prior to making a turn and stopping, while the operator of V-2 should have had reasonable time to observe the situation and take some sort of action in an attempt to avoid the collision.; Occupant1:Several cuts/lacerations to arm/back/leg/feet. Treated by EMS on-scene.; Occupant2:Several lacerations to the extremities. Treated by EMS on-scene.
