RedactedNarrative: On 9/1/2014 at approximately 0015 hrs, I, Officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was on patrol in Martin County, FL when a call was dispatched in reference to a boating accident in Palm Beach County, FL involving a recreational fishing vessel and one of the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office patrol vessel's. Given the location of the accident, and my location in relation to where the two vessels were at the time, I arrived on scene at approximately 0215 hrs. Upon arrival, I observed a white recreational fishing vessel docked at Phil Foster Boat ramp (V1). I also observed the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office vessel on their agency trailer(V2). I spoke with the subjects from the recreational vessel first. 
  
  There were three subjects onboard V1 ( Florida vessel registration number FL 5178 MN). All three subjects voluntarily gave witness statements. The Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office vessel (V2) contained two occupants at the time of the accident.
  All three subjects from V1 voluntarily wrote witness statements. Operator1 advised that V2 approached them on their starboard side. Operator1 goes onto advise that someone on V2 was yelling and waving his arms approximately twenty feet (20') away from V1. When V2 approached closer, Operator1 advised he got caught in the wake of V2 causing V1 to collide with V2. Operator1 also spontaneously uttered to me that he may have lost control at one point as well. 
  
  The owner/occupant of V1 advised in his statement that V2 came alongside at a high rate of speed with no blue lights activated. He goes onto advise, that when V2 approached closer, is when they were able to observe it was a law enforcement vessel. V1 occupant also advised that there was not any communication attempt on the VHF nor were they able to hear what the occupant of V2 was advising. 
  
  The final occupant onboard V1, also voluntarily gave a witness statement. In his statement he advises that V2 approached along their starboard side. One of the passengers of V2 began yelling at them but they were unable to hear what was being said. He goes onto advise that V2 came alongside at a high rate of speed and tried to cut in front of their vessel. At this time is when the bow of V1 made impact with the port side of V2. 
  
  Tthe operator of V2 also voluntarily gave a witness statement. Opeartor2 advised in his statement, that he pulled alongside V1 on their starboard side with his navigational lights on. As he was pulling along side V1, V1 powered down and at this time, so did V2. After powering down, he goes onto advise that he observed the bow of V1 start to turn into their port side. At this time he advised he powered up to avoid collision as the bow of V1 struck their port side. 
  
  On 9/9/2014 at approximately 1946 hrs, I received a phone call and email from Operator2 in reference to this boating accident. In the email is a video of the entire incident. I reviewed the video multiple times. It is clear that the video, and his statement that I received on 9/1/14 at approximately 0245 hrs, is consistent in nature.
