RedactedNarrative: V1 and V2 traveling side by side, south in the ICW in Little Sarasota Bay.  V2 turns sharply to the right, into the path of V1.  V1 struck V2 bow to bow.  Both operators were ejected into the water. 
  
  Operator1 advised that at approximately 1215 hours, he and his grandmother were heading south in the ICW nearing the Blackburn Point Bridge.  Both vessels were operating at approximately 10-15 MPH and were side by side when vessel two (driven by Operator2) made a sharp right turn into the path of vessel one (driven by Operator1).  
  
  Both vessels collided at their bows and both operators were ejected from their skis into the water.  Operator1 advised me that he sustained no injuries but found that his grandmother was complaining of severe hip pain.  Operator1 was able to help his grandmother back onto her ski and then flagged down a passing boater to assist.  That boater (unidentified) was able to operate Operator2's ski with her aboard, back to the dock where EMS was called.   
  
  After speaking with Operator2 briefly about the event, she verbally relayed a similar account which corroborated the version her grandson gave.  Given her condition, she was unable to give a written statement.  After reviewing the photographs of the two vessels, the damage to each ski was consistent with the accounts given by both operators    
  
  Operator2 sustained a fractured right pelvis and a fractured right hip.  She also had internal bleeding which required her admittance into the ICU before she could have surgery.
