On July 25, 2023 at approximately 2100hrs Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), were called out while off-duty to respond to a call regarding a hit-and-run boating accident. It was identified through dispatch that a 14’ Rabco Marine, with three juveniles on board was struck by an unidentified red and green jet ski with two individuals on board. The collision occurred on the Intracoastal Waterway at Lake Santabarbara. 
	Upon arriving on scene, we evaluated and photographed the damaged vessel. We then obtained a sworn written statement from the operator of the vessel, OP1. OP1 stated that as he was heading North on the Intracoastal Waterway at Lake Santabarbara, the unidentified red and green jet ski was heading South and appeared to be operating recklessly. OP1 stated that the operators of the jet ski appeared to be “fighting over control” of the Personal Watercraft. OP1 stated that as the operators of the jet ski were fighting over control, they turned abruptly into OP1’s vessel, striking the rear-port side of his vessel. This caused one of the occupants on OP1’s vessel to fall in the water, who then swam back to the vessel. The operators of the jet ski fled the scene without any exchange of information. 
	The Broward County Sheriff's Office put out a Be On the Look Out (BOLO) for the red and green jet ski that fled the scene, but the jet ski has yet to be found or identified. I documented the information collected at the scene and no further action was able to be taken. OP1:One of the injured juveniles suffered a contusion to the top, left side of the head. The other injured juvenile suffered a contusion on the right eyebrow area. Both individuals refused medical treatment. Pictures of the injuries are included.
