RedactedNarrative: V1 was traveling North in the Choctawhatchee Bay at idle speed with one operator and one occupant onboard. The operator of V1 was talking to a family member that was idling next to him on another vessel. After the conservation was over V-1 took off and when he looked forward he saw another vessel right in front of his bow.  The operator of V1 did not have enough time to react and collided with V2 (one operator onboard) striking it on the port side. The occupant on V1 was sitting in front of the operator and suffered a broken nose from the collision. 
  
  I asked Operator1 about the accident he stated that they were in the Choctawhatchee Bay near Crab Island when the accident occurred. He said he was talking to his cousin who was beside him on another jet ski and when they finished the conservation his cousin and he both took off. When he took off he looked forward and saw his daughter in front of him and collided with her. When the two vessel’s collided, his other daughter who was positioned in front of him hit her face on the steering column of the jet-ski causing her injuries. Operator1 stated as soon as the accident occurred he returned to shore and took both of his daughters to the Urgent Care Center to be checked out. Before departing the Urgent Care Center I asked the nurse if they had any updates on subject and she said they had just got the results back and the CT scan confirmed she had a broken nose.
