RedactedNarrative: On Saturday September 23, 2017, I, Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), was on state land patrol in Hillsborough County, Florida. At approximately 1930 hours I received a call from FWC Dispatch Center in Tampa, Florida in regards to a boating accident that occurred earlier that day. I arrived on scene at 5130 N Jamaica Street in Tampa, Florida at approximately 2100 hours and made contact with the reporting party.
  
  Operator1 stated to me that he was operating his jet ski (FL 0099 PZ) at a low rate of speed near the Courtney Campbell Causeway around 1800 hours when he heard a noise coming from behind him. Operator1 turned his head to see what the noise was and saw a green jet ski heading in his direction at a high rate of speed from the starboard side of his jet ski. Operator1 then turned his jet ski toward the port side and accelerated to try and avoid getting hit by the green jet ski. As Operator1 was turning his vessel the green jet ski hit the aft section of his jet ski on the starboard side.
  
  Operator1 was thrown from his vessel into the water and his vessel overturned. Operator1 then flipped his jet ski back over and drove it back to the boat ramp. Operator1 stated that he did not get a good look at the vessel or the operator and that the other jet ski just took off and did not stop to help.
  
  Due to the time delay of the call and the little information that was given to me by Operator1 I was unable to locate the other jet ski involved in the accident. Operator1 stated that there were no other vessels in the area to witness the accident. Operator1 is not being charged in regards to this accident and there was no injuries reported at the time of my investigation.
  
  No further action is taken at this time.
