On March 17, 2023 at approximately 1200 hours, two personal watercrafts (PWC) that were rented from in Key West were involved in a boating accident. Both PWC's were traveling in the general direction of north in Key West Channel when an occupant of V02, fell off. 
The operator of V02 changed speed and direction to retrieve the occupant that had fallen off. When this change of direction and speed occurred, the operator of V01, OP1, did not have enough time to react and ramped up the stern of V02. This impact caused OP2’s head/face to impact the steering controls of the PWC causing a possible concussion and injury to his teeth.; OP2 was the operator of V02, while changing direction and speed, he was struck by V01. V01 ramped V02 and impacted OP2 in the back causing him to jolt forward. This forward momentum caused OP2’s face/head to collide with the steering control of the PWC. This collision damaged OP2’s front teeth and possibly caused a concusion. OP2 was treated by Emergency Medical Services on scene and refused further evaluation at a hospital.
