RedactedNarrative: V-1 was heading East along the Courtney Campbell Causeway just ahead of V-2's port side bow. V-2 was also heading East on the starboard side of V-1. V-1 made a starboard turn and ran into the portside bow of V-2. The operator of V-1 was ejected and V-1 slid down the port side of V-2 and hit the lower unit.  
  
  On 6/19/16, at approximately 16:45 hours, V-1 was heading East along the Courtney Campbell Causeway just ahead of V-2 on the port side.  V-2 was also heading East along Courtney Campbell Causeway.  Both vessels were cruising at about 35 MPH.  
  
  V-1's operator made a sharp turn starboard.  V-2's operator steered starboard to try and avoid collision however, V-1 collided with V-2's port side bow. Operator1 was ejected from his vessel and he landed in the water.  Operator1 believes that the lid from the dry compartment on his vessel may have hit him under the chin and broke his jaw but he was not certain.  V-1 was missing the lid to the dry storage compartment and had a large hole on the starboard stern of the vessel.  Operator1 was taken to St. Joseph Hospital by EMS and he was treated for a fractured hip, laceration under his chin, and a broken jaw (broken in four places). 
  
  V-2 had damage to the port side of the vessel which indicated that V-1 had slid down the port side all the way down to the lower unit. V-2's Operator and three passengers did not sustain any injuries.  Several witnesses (see attachments) corroborated that Operator1 turned starboard into V-2.  Both Operators did not have the required Boater Safety Id Card.  Both were given a written warning for no Boater Safety ID card and improper Look Out.
