RedactedNarrative: Two airboats traveling on a canal near Floral City, Citrus County, round a blind curve and met head on. Vessel 1 turns to port, hitting the bow of vessel 2 at a 45 degree angle. 3 subjects are ejected from vessel 2, 1 subject from each vessel suffers injuries needing medical attention.
