RedactedNarrative: On 08/11/2018 I responded to Paradise Watersports in Ocean City, MD for a report of a personal watercraft (pwc) collision with injury. I arrived on scene along with Ocean City EMS around 1100 hours. Employees at Paradise advised that the group of rental pwc's were headed in from Herring Creek where the accident occurred. They also stated there was a male subject involved that had a broken leg. The injured subject was being transported by another employee of Paradise Watersports. Sgt. arrived to Paradise Watersports and transported EMS by vessel to meet the injured subject on the way in. 
  
   The group of rental pwc's involved made it to Paradise and I spoke with the subjects involved. Operator1 was operating a pwc with MD registration of 3953 DB along with a passenger. She stated she was operating the pwc at about half speed making a left turn when she felt an impact on the port stern side of the vessel. Another pwc had made contact with Operator1's pwc injuring V1 occupant. V1 occupant's left leg was determined to be broken after the impact. Operator1 did not sustain any injuries. V1 occupant was transported on a pontoon boat by an employee of Paradise Watersports, treated by EMS and transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, MD. 
  
   I spoke with the operator of the pwc that caused the accident. He stated he was operating pwc with MD registration 3952 DB at about 3/4 speed before he collided with Operator1. He stated he was within 50' of the port stern side of Operator1's pwc when Operator1 turned left. Operator2 attempted to stop his pwc but did not have enough time to avoid collision with Operator1. Operator2 made contact with Operator1's pwc and V1 occupant. The collision caused V1 occupant's leg to be broken. Operator2 did not sustain any injuries. 
  
   I determined that Operator2 caused the accident. He received a citation for operating a pwc more than 6 knots within 100' of another vessel and given a warning for negligent operation of a vessel.
  
   All events occurred in Worcester County, MD.
