RedactedNarrative: On Friday, June 30th, 2017 at 0800 hours, I, Officer First Class of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, regarding a vessel accident.  
  
  At 0810 hours I made contact by phone with V2 subject who advised that his vessel, a blue and grey Ski Nautique was docked at Uno's on Deep Creek Lake on Saturday, June 24, 2017 at approximately 1600 hours when he was approached by strangers and informed someone had struck his boat.  V2 subject recounted that he spoke with the operator and passengers of the offending vessel at the dock, who claimed responsibility for the accident and provided V2 subject with their contact information.   V2 subject informed me his boat sustained fiberglass damage to the swim platform and port stern hull.  V2 subject advised he was still waiting on a damage estimate from Bill's Service Center on Deep Creek Lake.
   
   At 1030 hours, I inspected V2 subject's vessel in a slip at Bill's Service Center.  I photographed the fiberglass damage on the swim platform and port stern hull.  Copies of the pictures are attached to this report.
   
   At 1100 hours, I unsuccessfully attempted to contact Operator1 by phone.  I left a voicemail identifying myself and the reason for my call.
  
   
  At 1105 hours, I interviewed the female passenger by phone.  V1 occupant confirmed being onboard Operator1's vessel and witnessing the accident.  V1 occupant explained that V1 occupant and her boyfriend were passengers on the vessel Operator1 was operating.  
  
  V1 occupant stated that Operator1 was attempting to back her vessel out of a slip when it became too close to V2 subject's docked and unoccupied vessel.  Occupant2 on v1 attempted to push the vessels apart, at which time Operator1 accelerated while in reverse gear and caused the rear of her vessel to strike the swim platform and port stern hull of V2 subject's vessel.  V1 occupant claimed there was no damage to Operator1's vessel.  When questioned, V1 occupant stated she and occupant2 had been drinking alcohol, but Operator1 did not consume any alcohol on the day of the reported incident.
   
  A damage estimate is pending response from Bill's Service Center.
   
  All events occurred in Garrett County, Maryland.
