On August 6, 2023, at approximately 1150 hours, a two-vessel collision occurred in Little Sarasota Bay just north of the Blackburn Point Bridge in Sarasota County, Florida. The vessels involved were a blue 10-foot Yamaha PWC, (V1) operated by one adult male with one adult female passenger and a white 10-foot Yamaha PWC, (V2) operated by one adult male and one adult female passenger. Both V1 and V2 were traveling north in the marked channel when for an unknown reason V2 made a hard port side turn directly in front of V1. V1 completely ramped over V2 ejecting all passengers from both vessels into the water. The female passenger of V2 received serious bodily injury to her left leg and was transported to the hospital for her injuries. 
This is an ongoing investigation.; Victim was flown to Tampa General Hospital. At the hospital she underwent surgery where they placed a plate in her left leg securing it with 7 screws.
