RedactedNarrative: V1 ramped V2 from the stern to the port side causing a passenger from V2 to sustain serious bodily injuries caused by V1's propeller.
  
  On 1/17/15 at approximately 21:55 hours, a two vessel collision occurred on the Intracoastal Waterway between Oakland Park Boulevard/Commercial Boulevard involving a 1979 Mako (23ft.) twin engine fiberglass motor vessel (V1)  and a 2000 Hydra Sport (20ft 6in) single engine fiberglass motor vessel (V2).  V2 was impacted from the stern (rear) by the 1979 Mako twin engine while both vessels were traveling North bound on the intracoastal waterway. The initial investigation indicates that V1 was traveling northbound at a higher rate of speed than V2.  
  
  In a sworn recorded statement and post Miranda Warning, the operator of V1 stated he did not see the vessel until it was too late striking the V2 vessel in the rear and ramping over the vessel towards the port side. V2 had 5 occupants whereby 2 occupants jumped from the vessel upon impact.  
  
  One occupant sustained serious bodily injury when he was struck by the V1 propeller.  Both vessels received significant physical damage resulting from the collision.  That area is a manatee zone but during the period of November 15 - March 31, 7PM - 7AM, on weekends and holidays, the speed is 25mph.  
  
  CONCLUSION
  
  Based on evidence and information gathered to date, the accident occurred as a result of the difference on traveling speed of V1 and V2.  There was no evidence of impairment of the operator of V1.  A conditional factor to the accident was the improper display of the impacted vessel's stern light.  
  
  The stern light was angled downward at 30 degrees and coupled with the possibility of the impacted vessels based on speed and trim, the navigational light would have been less visible from a vessel approaching the stern.  ;
  
  Victim received a propeller cut to his back, Left shoulder & broken scapula, cut to his left wrist.
