RedactedNarrative: On April 11, 2017, at approximately 1830 hours, a two vessel crash occurred on the Saint Johns River near marker 16, in Lake County Florida. The crash involved two Jet Skis with a total of four people on board.  The two vessels were traveling in opposite directions when they collided with each other, ejecting three people.  Two people were treated at the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
  
  V-2 occupant was injured in the crash.  At the time of impact with V-1, he was struck on the port side by the bow of V-2. Victim was ejected from the vessel, sustaining lacerations, abrasions and fracturing to the left leg.  He was treated and released from Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital after several days.
  
  The interviews from both operators and witnesses produced the same information.  All agreed that Victim was the operator of V-1 and operator2 was the operator of V-2.  The group of four people on two jet skis were known to each other and had been cruising together during the day.  At about 1830 hours, they were all on the way to Ed Stone Park to pull the vessels.  
  
  V-1 was in the lead and V-2 was some unknown distance behind.  V-1 turned and began operating on plane in the opposite direction passing V-2 head on. V-2 made a wide turn to the left (port) side, following in the direction of V-1. While attempting to catch V-1, V-2 began operating at a higher rate of speed closing the distance between the two vessels. V-2 continued to steer toward V-1’s right (starboard) side at a higher rate of speed than V-1 was traveling. 
  
  As V-2 approached, V-1 took no action. V-2 continued toward V-1’s right (starboard) side. As V-2 came within close proximity to the front (bow) of V-1, V-1 attempted to steer to its right (starboard) side. The bow of V-1 impacted V-2 amidships on the port side, ejecting both the operator and passenger of V-1, and passenger of V-2. 
  
  Both vessels came to a rest.
