RedactedNarrative: On August 9, 2015 at approximately 3:45 p.m. myself and Ofc. responded to a pwc accident with injuries at Nixon Beach. Upon arrival, the victim was being treated by Miami Dade fire rescue. I made contact with the other operator involved. He was operating a 2014 11’ Yamaha pwc FL 8382PT and had the other pwc involved, a 2014 11’ Yamaha FL 5180PX tied up to his. 
  
  I followed Operator1 to Dinner Key marina to gather a statement and take pictures of the damage. Operator1 stated that he was operating at cruising speed when he felt something hit him from behind, when he turned around he noticed Operator2 in the water complaining of injury. However, the damage to Operator2’s pwc did not match up with his description of the accident. There was significant damage to the port side and the bow hatch was missing. Ofc. was at Ryder trauma center and after speaking with Operator2 it was discovered that Operator1 collided into Operator2. Operator2 stated that he was cruising when he was hit by Operator1 on his port side, ejecting him into the water. Operator2 suffered a simple fracture to the shin on his left leg as a result of the accident 
  
  The damage caused to Operator2’s pwc and the injury he suffered determine that Operator1 collided into Operator2. Pictures were taken of the damage to Operator2's pwc (see attached) Operator1 was cited for careless operation of a pwc and also given a citation for not meeting the boater safety education requirement.  He suffered a simple fracture, shin bone on left leg
