RedactedNarrative: On August 4th, 2015, at approximately 1630 hours, I, Officer, of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, was dispatched to Bayside boat rentals on 54th street for a property damage jet ski accident. I arrived on scene at 1716 hours, and met with the business owner who advised there was extensive damage to one of their skis, and that both parties were present, and agreed to pay for damages to the jet skis. 
  
   I then spoke with operator1, who stated that he and 3 of his friends had rented jet skis earlier that day. Operator1 explained that he was traveling South in a straight direction on ski #1 (MD 3292LB) in the Isle of Wight bay riding area at approximately 20 knots. Operator1 stated that his friend-later identified as operator2was coming at him at a high rate of speed on ski #0 (MD 3352LB). Operator1 stated that he only saw Operator2 just prior to impact, and was not able to get out of his way. When speaking with Operator2, he admitted he was trying to follow Operator1 and  was approximately 50 yards from Operator1 before he decided to make an evasive move to the left to try to avoid impact. Operator2 stated that he didn't have enough time to make a sufficient reaction to avoid collision. 
  
   PWC guide was approximately 300 yards from the skis during the collision. He stated that Operator1 was traveling South at a high rate of speed, and began to close the distance with Operator2. Guide stated that as Operator1 was moving in a straight direction, Operator2 suddenly accelerated quickly and made a sharp turn to the left. Guide said that both operators were ejected from their skis, and he immediately rushed to their aid. 
  
   When looking at the damage to the skis, I observed extensive damage to ski #1 on it's port side. I believe the port side bow of the vessel to be the point of impact in this collision. The vessel is missing its side mirror, and there is also damage to the handle bar on that side as well. There are deep cracks in the fiberglass of the hull on the port side bow of the vessel, as well as paint transfer, and damage to the gunwale. In addition, there is also damage to the stern/grab handle area of the vessel, as well as a tear in the seat near the stern. Ski #0 showed damage to the starboard side of the vessel. The gunwale of ski#0 is cracked and pulled away from the frame on its starboard bow. There is also a crack near the starboard bow directly about the gunwale damage-possibly a stress fracture. In addition, there is also a deep scrape along the starboard side of the vessel toward the stern. 
  
   Operator2 was issued 1 citation for operating a PWC over 6 knots within 100 feet of another vessel, and also a warning for Rules of the Road: rule #5-Failure to maintain a proper lookout. Operator1 was also issued a warning for Rule #5 as well. One of the members of their riding group paid for the damages to the jet skis. 
  
  
   All above events occured in Worcester County, MD.
