RedactedNarrative: On July 2nd, 2020 at 0151 hours, I Officer First Class, of The Maryland Natural Resources Police received a call reference a vessel accident south of the Bay Bridge in the area of Green "91" Lighted Bouy Fl G 4s(38 58 59.103N, 076 23 16.547W.) Anne Arundel County Fire Board, United States Coast Guard, and Maryland State Police Trooper 2 had already been dispatched to the scene of the collision. 
  
  Anne Arundel County Fire Boats were  first on the scene, and they located the vessel in question east of Red Lighted Bell Buoy 92 Fl R 4s(38 58 55.803N, 076 23 04.547W). Upon arrival, Anne Arundel Fire Boat 13 encountered a vessel with three occupants, all with reported injuries at the time. The sole vessel involved in the collision had sustained significant disabling damage and appeared to be taking on water. 
  
  Anne Arundel Fire Boat 36 transported one patient with reported neck and back pain to Sandy Point State Park awaiting medics, Sgt and Cpl. both of Maryland Natural Resources Police. The other two subjects on the vessel were transported by Anne Arundel Fire Boat 19. Boat also side towed the disabled vessel to Sandy Point State Park.

  Passenger #1
   
  "Was lying down on vessel asleep, the vessel hit something, went flying." 
  
   Vessel
  
   The vessel towed in was a Sailfish 236 displaying Maryland Vessel Registration “MD 1150 BS.” The vessel had disabling damage to the forward port bow area, which appeared to have hit some type of green object. The vessel has a large hole close to the waterline and an even larger hole close to the top of the bow. The vessel had green paint transfer in the damaged bow area. The operating console of the vessel had been destroyed, and over 20 plus screws had been ripped out of the floor of the vessel. The impact of the vessel with the object appeared to have been at speed. The vessel also appeared to be taking on water. The vessel had large amounts of alcoholic beverage cans thrown about the deck to include miller light cans, fireball mini’s, and small champagne bottles. The vessel is beyond repair and considered totaled. The GPS, a GARMIN GPS MAP 441s, was seized for possible evidence related to the speed, course, and other information factors.
  
  Passenger #2
  
  Subject arrived at Sandy Point at 02:54. Occupant2 stated she possibly had some type of muscular injury but was refusing all medical treatment. Occupant2 stated that they were underway in the area of The Jetty and Red Eyes Dock Bar in Kent Island to watch the fireworks. She stated they drove around listening to music after the fireworks, and she was not driving the boat, nor did she have any boat training. She stated she had a couple of grapefruit crushes throughout the evening. The next thing she knew, the boat crashed, and operator was in the water. She stated she was never thrown in the water. Occupant2 had an odor of alcoholic beverage about her breath. Occupant2 provided a written statement which is attached to this report.
  
   Operator
  
   Subject also had aboard their vessel, the operator of the Sailfish. The male later appeared to be the most injured subject of all parties. When getting off, Operator was extremely unstable on his feet and was wobbling while standing. Operator had an odor of alcoholic beverage about his breath, and his eyes were glassy and bloodshot. Operator stated his jaw hurt badly. He also had a laceration to his foot as well as his chin area. Operator stated he had no clue what happened and woke up in the water. Operator stated he had “6-7 beers” and would not ever drive a vessel in that condition. Operator was asked multiple times then who was driving the vessel, and he continued to state he didn’t know. Operator, while, talking had slurred speech and slow responses throughout the whole conversation. Operator was transported to Anne Arundel Medical Center by Anne Arundel Medic #4.
   
  Further investigation
  
   Operator
  
  After Operator and Occupant2 were transported to Anne Arundel Medical Center, I responded to the hospital for further questioning. I spoke with Operator at the hospital and he continued to say he was never driving the vessel. Operator also stated the vessel was owned by his parents, and he normally operates the vessel. Operator appeared to be still intoxicated by the way he was speaking and slurring his words. Operator was read his advice of rights. Operator refused to sign and continued to state he was not driving the vessel, but again did state he had “6-7” beers. Operator was going for a scan of his jaw at the hospital, and I left Operator to speak with Occupant2. 
   
  Occupant2
  
  Occupant2 stated they went out for the evening to watch fireworks. Occupant2 stated after they watched the firework they were in the area of Red Eyes Dock Bar. Occupant2 stated he got tired and laid down with his friend Occupant2 in the vessel. Occupant2 stated the next thing he knew he “was flying through the air, and the boat was smashed, I had to crawl under the smashed boat to stop it.” Occupant2 continued to state he heard Operator in the water and threw him a life jacket and helped him back in the vessel. Occupant2 stated he started to have back and neck pain, so he called 911. Occupant2 provided a witness statement which is attached.
  
   Point of Impact
  
  I cleared the hospital and returned to Sandy Point State Park. I boarded a patrol vessel and responded to the general area where the Sailfish was located. Green Lighted Bouy 91 had a large scrape impact strike and had remaining fiberglass from the Sailfish still lodged on top of the buoy. Pictures are attached to the report in reference.
