RedactedNarrative: On June 25th, 2017 at 1615 hours a call came into the FWC dispatch center for a vessel accident at Whiskey Joe’s in Tampa, Florida. FWC dispatch relayed the accident information to officers in the area. Offices responded by vessel from Philippe Park in Safety Harbor. At approximately 1640 hours we arrived at Whiskey Joe’s.
  
  We located vessel (V2) FL 8151 RH subjects and spoke to them about what happened. I asked Operator2 if he would write down what happened on a sworn written statement and he said “Yes”. Neither occupants aboard this vessel were injured. 
  
  Officers arrived to assist and located the other vessel involved (V1) FL 8151 RH.  Officer obtained a sworn written statement from Operator1 and spoke to the other occupant about the accident. Operator1 was treated for a laceration to her head and leg and refused transport by EMS. 
  
  Both operators gave the same direction of travel for their respective vessels. V1 was traveling eastbound on the south side of Whiskey Joes and V2 was traveling southbound. V2 was idling south when V1 struck the starboard side of V2 at approximately 25 mph. This caused Operator1 to be thrown from V1 into the side of V2 and landing in the water, while the passenger remained on the jet ski.
  
  Operator2 then jumped into the water with a PFD to assist Operator1. With the help of V1 occupant and a bystander, they were able to get her back to shore. Both vessels returned to Whiskey Joe's. 
  
  In talking to Operator2 and Operator1, it is my opinion that Operator1 was possibly racing another jet ski and was not paying attention to Operator2's vessel. Once she did realize the immediate danger, it was too late and her jet ski ran into the pontoon boat. I am citing Operator1 for failure to maintain proper lookout (33CFR 83.05).
  
  Upon further follow up of the investigation, I was told by Operator1 that she was admitted to the hospital days later due to contusions to her ovaries. She was released days later and was told to rest and the contusions would take time to heal. Operator1 did tell me she was able to return to work.
