RedactedNarrative: On July 30,2020 I Ofc  of the Maryland Natural Resources Police was on vessel patrol on the Isle Of Wight Bay, Ocean City Worcester County MD.  I received a call over my agency issued radio from Cpl to respond to Top Gun Watersports for boating accident involving 2 personal watercrafts (PWC).  I activated my emergency equipment and started towards Top Gun Watersports.  When I arrived, Ocean City Fire Department was on scene with a injured juvenile who was identified by his mother.  Victim's mother was identified.  I asked if anyone else involved needed any medical assistance and all parties declined.  The juvenile who was struck by the jet ski was riding with his uncle.  Operator2 was operating ski #7 with Delaware registration 380AM.  The operator of the striking vessel ski #12 with Maryland registration 3833LB was identified.
  
      I gave all three adults the NRP-425 Voluntary Witness/ Advisement Of Rights Form and explained to them the form was completely voluntary and they could choose not to fill out the form.  All 3 adults agreed to fill out and form, which is included in this report.  
  
      Victim’s mother stated she saw the jet ski her son was on flipped over, with her son and brother in the water.
  
      Operator2 stated that he was on ski #7 with his nephew.  They were at a complete stop to adjust his nephew's hands on the PWC.  Operator2 looked to his left and observed another PWC heading towards him at a high rate of speed.  The other ski operated by Operator1 was unable to stop and avoid hitting the PWC causing them to fall into the water.
  
      Operator1 stated that he was riding his ski #12, another PWC was close by.  Operator1 tried to change direction and slow down but was unable to do so striking vessel #7.
  
      The juvenile was transported to Atlantic General Hospital (AGH) located at 9733 Healthway Dr, Berlin, MD 21811 for his injuries.  Victim was having pain in his left arm and left hip.
  
      Operator1 was issued 1 citation and 1 warning.  The citation was for failure to obey navigation rules of the road rule #8, action to avoid a collision and the warning was for operating a PWC greater than 6 knots closer than 100 feet of another vessel.
