RedactedNarrative: On July 18, 2023 at 4:25 P.M. I (Corporal of the Maryland Natural Resources Police) was dispatched to Top Gun Watersports located on 22nd street in Ocean City, Maryland in reference to a boat accident involving 2 vessels and two occupants. I arrived on scene and met with the manager, who advised me that two of his PWC's were involved in a collision. He showed me the driver information for each PWC and explained that damage to one PWC was in excess of $5,000.00. Both drivers were still on scene.
  
       I first spoke to operator2 who advised he was sitting still or perhaps just clutch ahead and watching his brother operate another PWC. He advised Operator1 was doing fast circles (donuts) for a moment and then when he came out, he ran over the stern of Operator2' PWC. Operator2 advised he had no time to get out of his way in order to avoid the collision. I then spoke to Operator1 about the incident. He advised the same story. He said he was doing donuts but when he came out of the last turn he could not avoid his brother who was watching from about 40 feet away. 
  
       I examined the vessels and took pictures that are included in this report. The damages reflect the incident that was described by both drivers. I found fault to be on Operator1 and issued him one citation for operating a PWC at a speed greater than 6 knots while within 100 feet of another vessel. All events occurred in Worcester County, Maryland.
