RedactedNarrative: On 12/18/2016 at approximately 2000 hours while on water patrol in Miami-Dade County, I of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, was dispatched to a hit and run vessel call in the vicinity of Haulover Boat Ramp. I arrived at approximately 2015 hours where I met with the victims who had already pulled their vessel out of the water. 
  
  I asked the owner and operator what happened and he advised me that while traveling northbound in his vessel FL0749RF at approximately 1830 hours in the ICW between Julia Tuttle Causeway and the 79th Street Causeway, three PWC’s with multiple operators and occupants approached. Operator1 advised that one of the operators of the PWC’s was riding with his head low and body bracing for what Operator1 assumed to be the wake caused by his vessel. 
  
  The PWC instead, however, collided with FL0749RF on the rear port side. Operator1 stated that the operator collided with enough force to be ejected several feet. He then stated that he turned his vessel around and as he approached the operator of the PWC, the other individuals loaded the ejected operator who appeared to be in shock, and one of them jumped onto the damaged PWC before the entire party (all three PWC’s and all occupants and operators, including the injured individual) sped off northbound in the ICW toward 79th Street Bridge / Boat Ramp. Operator1 advised that he tried to tell the other individuals on the PWC’s that the police would be called because the event was an accident but he said the individuals ignored him and were interested in leaving the scene. Operator1 also stated that he tried to maintain visual contact with the three PWC’s but they were ultimately able to outrun his vessel. Operator1 then contacted police and returned to Haulover Boat Ramp. 
  
  Operator1 advised that the PWC had “FL8383” on the side but he said that he was not able to read the rest of the registration. As I interviewed Operator1 at Haulover, an FWC unit remained in overwatch at Pelican Harbor Boat Ramp (located at the 79th Street causeway) in the event any of the PWC’s returned, and the Squad 2 commanding officer contacted multiple hospitals and trauma centers throughout the county but none of the facilities advised that they received any patients with injuries that would resemble trauma resulting from a boating accident and being ejected. Operator1 provided a written statement and I provided him my phone number so that I could continue patrolling the north area for damaged PWC’s matching the description provided but ultimately, after an exhaustive search effort, all units were unsuccessful in locating the individuals.  
  
  Later, I tried to contact Operator1 to obtain statistical information for the other occupants but was unable to obtain that location. I left a voicemail the first attempt but the voicemail message service was full on the second attempt. The investigation is considered closed. This concludes the accident investigation for this case by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
