(copied from detailed narrative: On December 9th, 2023, at approximately 11:20am, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) received a call from the Sanford Regional Communications Center (dispatch) regarding a vessel accident on Lake Conine, in Winter Haven, Florida. Dispatch informed me two jet skis collided in Lake Conine and there were no serious injuries. Dispatch also advised the subjects involved were waiting for my arrival at the boat ramp.
At approximately 12:00pm, I arrived at the Lake Conine Boat ramp and observed two personal watercraft (V2 and V1) that were loaded onto their trailers. I also observed two Hispanic males standing near the watercraft on the shore. I announced myself as law enforcement and confirmed there were no injuries. During my investigation, I interviewed both subjects separately to determine the cause of the vessel accident. 
OP1 stated the following: 
•	He knew OP2 personally from riding together with him.
•	OP1 was in the center of the lake, riding his PWC in a figure-eight style motion.
•	When exiting his figure-eight, he was unaware OP2 was watching him at such a close distance.
•	When he realized OP2 was so close, he attempted to avoid collision but was unsuccessful.
•	OP2 was traveling under 10 miles an hour, while OP1 was traveling close to 20 miles an hour.
•	OP1’s PWC struck the rear port side of OP2’s PWC.
OP2 stated the following:
•	He was cruising around the western end of Lake Conine when he observed OP1 riding in a figure-eight pattern in the center of the lake. 
•	He traveled near OP1 to watch him operate his PWC.
•	OP1 was operating in a figure-eight and was unaware of OP2’s location.
•	When OP1 exited his figure-eight, OP1 come out of his figure-eight pattern running on plane in OP2’s direction.
•	Both operators attempted to avoid collision but were unsuccessful. 
•	OP1’s PWC struck the rear port side of OP2’s PWC.)
