RedactedNarrative: Based on evidence collected and interviews conducted, the following was determined:
  
  	On January 1, 2022 at approximately 3:30pm, Operator2 was operating a vessel (FL1824LM) and his friend, Operator1, was operating a personal watercraft (PWC), (FL0143TB), on the east side of Lake Maitland near the Winter Park Racquet Club. 
  
  	Operator2 had 4 other occupants onboard V2.  Two of the occupants were sitting on the bow of V2.  Operator2 explained to me that he was operating V2 east towards the Winter Park Racquet Club boat ramp and began to make a U-turn.  Operator1 was operating V1 in the same direction, making a wider U-turn to the outside of V2.  Operator2 stated that while turning, he was looking over his left shoulder to make sure no one was coming on his port side.  Once the vessel straightened out of the turn, Operator2 stated that he looked to his right and saw that Operator1 was fixing to collide with him.  
  
  Operator2 jerked the steering wheel to the left while Operator1 steered to the right, resulting in Operator1 striking the starboard side of V2 with the port side of V1.  Operator1 was ejected from V1 and was floating in the water nearby, face down and unresponsive.  The two bow riding occupants were ejected from V2.  
  
   Operator2 swam to help Operator1.  Occupants on a boat leaving the Winter Park Racquet Club boat ramp, witnessed the accident and drove over to assist.  The witnesses and Operator2 were able to pull Operator1 onboard their vessel and transported him to the Winter Park Racquet Club boat ramp where EMS was waiting.  Operator1 became responsive before being transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC) with a head injury.
  
  
  Subject1:Subject had swelling/bruising to right calf and was complaining of lower back pain but refused treatment.; OPERATOR1:Subject was transported to ORMC with a head injury.  Subject also had a broken shoulder.
