RedactedNarrative: On March 31st, 2021 I responded to a vessel crash that occurred inside the St. Lucie Inlet. V1 struck V2 on the port side as a result of carless operation on a PWC. V2 operator was injured with an acute fracture to the leg. The vessels did not need to be towed. After reviewing both statements and speaking with both operators, I found that the collision took place just inside the St. Lucie Inlet and outside of the channel. V2 was drifting and the operator was on his phone when the collision occurred. V1 was being operated towards V2 when he realized his speed was too fast. V1 operator attempted to slow the vessel down by releasing the acceleration and putting the vessel in reverse. The V1 operator then attempted to steer without power to avoid the collision.  V1 struck the mid port side of V2 with is bow. V1 struck the left leg of V2 Operator.
  
  OP2 was injured in the crash and received an acute fracture to his fibula and a possible torn ligament. OP1 was uninjured.
  OP2: SUBJECT RECIVED FRACTURE TO FIBULA ON LEFT LEG (SUBACUTE FRACTURE PROMIMAL) AND SLIGHT TORN LIGAMENT.
