V1 was towing S1 at approximatley 30 mph. O1 negotiated a turn causing S1 to fall into the water off the skis. S1 broke her arm when making impact with the water and tension of the ski line. 

On July 30, 2023, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission “FWC,” responded to a boating accident near Salt Run in St. Augustine Florida. 

I was advised that the victim S1 was transported to Flagler Regional Hospital with a broken arm. 

I went to the hospital and spoke with S1 who advised she was being towed on water skis behind vessel 1, 2004 white C & C manufacturing Inc open motorboat bearing vessel registration Florida FL, when she fell off the skis and broke her arm. 

I attempted to contact the operator to no avail. St. Johns Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol did speak with O1 and stated they were traveling at approximately 30 mph and negotiated a turn which caused S1 to fall into the water off the skis.

I attempted multiple times to conduct follow ups with O1 leaving my contact information to no avail. ; S1: Broken left arm above elbow from falling off water skis
