RedactedNarrative: V1 was traveling East heading towards the New Pass Bridge. V2 was following behind and to the port side of V1.  V1 turned sharply to the port side and V2 turned sharply to the starboard in an attempt to avoid a collision.  The port bow of V2 struck V1 on the port side and launched over V1.
  
  Upon interviewing the three subjects on scene and investigating the damage to the vessels, it was concluded that the accident occurred as follows:  the red PWC(Vessel 1) was heading East towards the New Pass Bridge with the purple PWC(Vessel 2) following closely behind on the port quarter of the red PWC(V1).   
   
  Operator1 was operating the red PWC(V1) with V1 occupant as a passenger.   Operator2 was operating  the purple PWC(V2) with V2 occupant as a passenger.  The red PWC(V1) abruptly and sharply turned to the port.  The purple PWC behind turned to the starboard to try to avoid a collision.  The port hull of the purple PWC(V2) collided with the red PWC(V1) on the port side and traveled onto and over the red PWC striking V1 occupant in the face. 
   
  The collision knocked both he and Operator1 into the water.  From the water, the subjects were able to flag down another vessel passing by for help.  All subjects advised they were wearing life vest at the time of the accident.   The good samaritan vessel was then able to help V1 occupant onto their vessel and took him to the dock at Marine Max.  EMS was contacted and transported him to Sarasota Memorial Hospital.   Operator1, Operator2, and V2 occupant then took both PWCs  to Marine Max's dock and waited for law enforcement to arrive.
  
  On March 21st, Officer and I spoke to Operator1, and Operator2, with their father present.  We explained our findings and issued a warning for failure to maintain proper lookout to Operator1. We also issued a warning for failure to avoid collision to operator2 and a citation for operating an unregistered vessel on state waters.
  
  Victim had four broken front teeth, two fractures to his lower jaw, and one fracture in his left radial, a concussion, and a ruptured spleen.
