RedactedNarrative: On May 1, 2016 at approximately 2022hrs, I was dispatched to a boating accident involving a PWC in the vicinity of Virginia Key, in Miami-Dade, Fl. The incident was determined to be a hit and run involving two PWCs. The victims were transported to South Miami Hospital. Operator1 received treatment for lacerations and inflammation to his left knee. 
  
  Based on a Sworn Written Statement from Operator1 given on May 6, 2016, He and Passenger1 were riding the PWC at the party on Virginia Key Beach. Operator1 was operating the PWC in the area of Bear Cut, along Virginia Key Beach when a predominantly red PWC operated by a Hispanic Male with a shoulder tattoo collided with the port side of his PWC, ejecting Operator1 and Passenger1 into the water. A good Samaritan vessel recovered Operator1 and Passenger1, at which time, the striking PWC fled the scene. Operator1 and Passenger1 were transported back to the location of the party on Virginia Key Beach, where they were met and transported by EMS to South Miami Hospital. Operator1 also stated that the PWC he was operating was one of two PWCs rented for the party from a location approximately 15-20 minutes from Virginia Key Beach by water.
  
  Operator1 was unable to provide information about the PWC rental company, location of rental origin, or photographs of the rented PWC because of the circumstances surrounding the PWC rental. An unknown person organized the rental of the PWCs for use by a large group of individuals.
  
  Neither the striking PWC which fled the scene, nor the struck vessel which is said to be a rental PWC were located, and therefore could not be documented and photographed.
  
  Contributing factors leading to the boating accident for both operators involved are operator inexperience, operating in congested waterways, and failure to maintain proper lookout while underway. Additionally, the striking vessel violated USCG Navigation Rule 15 and Rule 16 by means of improper action in a crossing situation being the give way vessel shall take early and substantial action to keep well clear of the stand on vessel.
  
  With the limited vessel information available, I conclude my investigation. Operator1: Victim suffered minor lacerations to left knee, and contusions to the left knee.
