On 11/21/2023 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was informed that a boating accident had occurred in Key West. I relocated to the Lower Keys Medical Center and made contact with the victim. The victim did not have identification at the time of treatment.
I was unable to locate the male operator of the PWC.
VICTIM provided a written statement. VICTIM stated that she was a passenger on a rented personal water craft (PWC). VICTIM stated that as the PWC was traveling at approximately 20 mile per hour it crested a large wave and went airborne. VICTIM stated that she was ejected from the PWC. VICTIM stated that she came back down and landed on the PCW making contact with her lower right leg. I was informed by Lower Keys Medical Center staff that VICTIM had a broken leg (Right Fibula).
VICTIM stated that operator of the PWC received pre-ride training. VICTIM stated that the conditions on the water were very rough and that they should have been operating the PWC at a slower speed. VICTIM suffered a broken right Fibula just above the ankle joint.
