RedactedNarrative: On 7-17-17 I, Cpl. received a call from DNR Communications in regards to a jet ski accident that occurred on Marley Creek, Anne Arundel County, MD. DNR Communications advised a female subject was at the Baltimore Washington Medical Center with a leg injury sustained in a jet ski accident.
  
  I arrived at the Baltimore Washington Medical Center and met with Operator2, who advised she was injured after her jet ski was struck by another jet ski. Operator2 advised while operating her jet ski she came to a complete stop to fix her hair and her brother, Operator1 came to see if she needed any help and ran into the left side of her jet ski. Operator2 was knocked off her jet ski causing some scratches and a possible knee injury. She stated her brother was operating at approximately 5-6 knots when he struck the left side of her jet ski. Operator2 was wearing a life jacket at the time of the accident. Operator2 was transported to the Medical Center by a friend.
  
  I conducted an interview with Operator1 at the Medical Center. He advised while operating his jet ski he noticed operator2 stop her jet ski and decided to turn his jet ski around and see if she was ok. He also stated as he was approaching her jet ski he stood up to talk to her and his lanyard (kill switch) cut the motor off and the bow of his jet ski struck the left side on the jet ski operator2 was on. This caused Operator2 to fall off her jet ski and into the water. Operator1 was wearing a life jacket at the time of the accident and also advised he did not have a Boaters Safety Certificate and he was in the process of getting it online.
  
  At this time no drugs or alcohol was a contributing factor in this accident. This accident was caused by operator error. 
  
  Operator1 was charged with the following:
