RedactedNarrative: On June 5, 2015 at approximately 11:47am a call was dispatched over FWC communication regarding a vessel accident with injuries in the area of 43st and Collins Ave oceanside Miami Beach. 
  
  I arrived at approximately 12:15pm to 43st and Collins Ave and I was able to locate the operator of Vessl 1. The operator was identified by US Passport ID Card out of New York. The vessel he was on was a 2015 Yamaha PWC with identification FL 0309 PY. Operator1 explained that he had rented the PWC as part of a group tour. The tour was heading southbound along the shore, when another PWC crossed in front of him from the right side. He stated that he had seen the vessel coming, however couldn't believe that vessel tried to cut him off when they collided. 
  
  I arrived at approximately 3pm at Jackson Memorial Hospital where I was able to locate the victim from vessel 2. The victim was identified by US Passport ID Card out of New York. The vessel he was on was a 2015 Yamaha PWC with identification FL 8610 PV. Operator2 explained that he had rented the PWC from a stand on 43st and Collins. Operator2 was heading westbound when he first noticed the tour group. Operator2 was able to successfully cross in front of them, however when he turned his PWC around and began to head eastbound he crossed in front of the tour group and was subsequently struck by V1. 
  
  Operator2 sustained a left leg broken femur and a broken fibia. He also sustained minor lacerations on his ankle and pelvis area. 
  
  Verbal statements obtained from both operators, I have concluded that operator Operator1 of V1 was at fault for the accident and failed to give way to vessels to his starboard. Operator1 was given a citation for violation of USCG Rule 15 - Crossing Situation 
  (a) When two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel. 
  
  I also cited operator Operator2 of V2 for failed action by stand on vessel. USCG Rule 17- Action by Stand-on Vessel 
  (a) (i) Where one of two vessels is to keep out of the way, the other shall keep her course and speed. 
  (ii) The latter vessel may, however, take action to avoid collision by her maneuver alone, as soon as it becomes apparent to her that the vessel required to keep out of the way is not taking appropriate action in compliance with these Rules. 
  
  No further action required.
