RedactedNarrative: V1 was traveling west in Flying Eagle marsh. Operator1 steered his vessel to the inside of a left hand turn in the river and hit V2, which was coming from the opposite direction.  V2 was heading east.  Both vessels collided head on. Damage to both vessels was extensive and there were multiple injuries.
  
  Operator2 informed me he and his passenger were heading east on the river when the accident happened. V2 subject1 was transported to the Citrus Memorial hospital by EMS. V2 subject1 sustained a broken heel and minor contusions on his feet and hands. Operator2 was the only one remaining on scene, that was involved in the accident. Operator2 was uninjured. I took pictures of his vessel and had him complete a Sworn Statement before he loaded up his vessel to take it home. Seating arrangements for occupants are on the Sworn Statement Diagram from Operator2. Estimated damage to Operator2’s vessel is $55,000.00, a total loss.
  
  Once I obtained Operator2’s statement I contacted the operator of the other vessel by phone. Operator1 was on his way to Citrus Memorial hospital with his wife to have their injuries evaluated. Operator1’s vessel was identified as a 2021, blue (in color), 16-foot, Florida Airboat Partners (FL 7580 TC). I then met operator and his wife at Citrus Memorial Hospital and obtained Sworn Written Statements from both. At the hospital I also obtained a Sworn Written Statement from V2 subject1 who was in the ER as well. 
  
  Operator1 informed me he and the five other occupants on his boat were traveling west towards the Moccasin Slough Airboat Jump when his boat collided with another boat. Operator1 and his passengers refused medical treatment by EMS at the scene and continued to drive his airboat to his residence. Once at his residence all individuals went to seek medical attention on their own. Seating arrangement for the occupants are shown on the Sworn Statement Diagram from Operator1. The occupants/injuries on Operator1’s vessel were as follows:
  Operator1 – Laceration to left leg, requiring stitches
  Operator1’s wife – Concussion	
  Subject2 – Abrasions to the face
  
  After getting Sworn Statements at the hospital, and they were released from the hospital, we went to Operator1’s residence and took pictures of his vessel. Estimated damage for Operator1’s vessel is $35,000.00
  
  Upon completion of the interviews and investigation, it was determined that the accident occurred as follows:
  •	Operator2’s vessel was traveling east on the river near the south side of the river.
  •	Operator1’s vessel was traveling west on the north side of the river.
  •	Both vessels were being operated around a sharp turn in the river and both vessels were operating on a full plane.
  •	The estimated speed for each vessel around the turn is 20 mph.
  •	Operator1’s operation of his vessel cutting across to the south side of the river while traveling west around the corner did not allow enough reaction time for either operator to avoid collision.
  •	Operator2 attempted to slow down and turn his vessel starboard.
  •	Both vessel’s collided in a near head-on collision.
  •	Both vessel’s sustained major damage.
  •	Multiple injuries were sustained during the boating accident.;
