RedactedNarrative: On the evening of July 1, 2017 around 1615 hours, I Officer of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, was on patrol in the area of the Ocean City Commercial Harbor. A colleague notified me of a possible boat accident in the area of the Rt. 90 Bridge and the Isle of Wight Bay that had just occurred. While enroute with Sgt. of the same agency, we were able to ascertain the victims were on their way in to shore to be checked by EMS. 
   
   Upon arriving on scene at Action Water Sports on 52nd street, I was met by Ocean City Police Department officers who had a print out of the driver and passenger of the personal watercraft that had hit the bridge.
  
   I was able to make brief contact with the passenger who had a cut on his right leg and swelling. He was apparently shaking and difficult to understand due to a language barrier and the stress of a recent crash. He was able to tell me that he was the passenger on the PWC leading up to the incident. He also said that his friend was driving the PWC near the Rt. 90 bridge but was having trouble keeping distance between the bridge and the PWC due the wind. 
  
  I did note the wind to be very calm, less than 10 mph out of the south that evening. He continued by saying that as they were driving at a speed less than 20 mph but greater than 10 mph with the bridge on their left, they were getting closer and closer. The next thing he knew was that they ran into the piling of the bridge on the forward right side of the PWC and were ejected into the water. When he came up, he noticed subject to be seizing and unresponsive. 
   
  It was about this time that the PWC tour guides came over to help. The guide was first on scene. He explained to me that he witnessed subject go outside the riding area and disappear under the bridge. When he went to make contact with them, he saw them in the water and the driver seizing. He then loaded them onto his PWC and drove to shore to meet EMS. The victims PWC was towed in to the rental agency. 
   
  Officer took pictures of the PWC which will be included in the attachment section of this report. The PWC had a MD registration of 3340 LB and was black and green in color and made by Kawasaki. The owner of the rental agency advised me that the estimated damage to the vessel was beyond repair and would be totaled. These PWC's cost $8,400 new. 
   
  I was able to make contact with Operator later that evening at AGH. He advised me that the doctors said he had possible bleeding on his brain and a skull fracture and will be transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center due to the severity of the injuries. I explained the two citations that Operator was receiving to both parties. He was issued one citation for PWC speed greater than 6 knots within 100 feet of a bridge and another citation for operation of a PWC in a negligent manner. 
   
   I spoke with the State Attorney's Office on July 7, 2017 in reference to a blood kit subpoena for intoxication levels during the accident. They advised it would not be necessary. All events occurred In Worcester County, MD.
