RedactedNarrative: V-2 was traveling at approximately 20 MPH around a curve. V-2 was to the right of the channel, with the mangroves to the vessel's starboard side. As v-2 was rounding the curve, V-1 appeared directly in front of them. 
  
  V-2 turned to the left in order to avoid the mangroves and the vessel, however V-1 made the same evasive maneuver. V-2 swerved back in an attempt to avoid collision, but V-1 turned back as well. 
  
  As a result, V-2's bow struck the starboard side of V-1 approximately 3 feet from the stern. V-2 ramped V-1 and the keel struck the operator of V-1 then struck the outboard motor and deflected off. 
  
  The starboard side of V-2 scraped the starboard side of V-1, then continued into the mangroves. The operator of V-1 was knocked into the water and received a head injury. The victim was pulled from the water and taken to the dock where EMS was called. his injury consisted of a depressed skull fracture and an epidural brain bleed.
