RedactedNarrative: On June 23, 2020 I Ofc. of the Maryland Natural Resources Police was on vessel patrol on the Isle Of Wight Bay, Ocean City, Worcester County MD.  At approx. 2:30 PM I received a call over my radio for a boating accident involving two jet ski rentals with injuries in the area of 52nd Street.  I activated my emergency equipment and started towards 52nd Street.  At approx. 2:32 PM I arrived on scene at 120 52nd St, Ocean City, MD 21842 Action Watersports.  At that time the victim was being seen by Ocean City Fire Department EMS.  Victim had sustained an injury to her right leg.  There were no signs of any traumatic injury, but due to the amount of pain Victim was in she was transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC) in Salisbury MD for precautionary measures.  Victim was on jet ski #1 with Maryland registration 9200 LB.
  
       I spoke with the driver who crashed into Victim.  The driver was Victim's boyfriend.  I asked Operator1 if he needed any medical attention and Operator1 advised that he was ok.  I asked Operator1 if he would fill out a Maryland Natural Resources Voluntary Statement (NRP-425) Operator1 advised that he did not wish to write anything down but he would tell me what happened.  Operator1 was on jet ski #5 with Maryland registration 9202 LB.
  
      Operator1 advised that he was riding his jet ski and he wanted to say something to Victim.  Operator1 advised that he was traveling at least 10 knots when he was driving to Victim.  Operator1 tried to turn the ski to pull along side Victim but had too much speed and crashed into Victim causing injury to her right leg.  It should be noted that Operator1 advised that he was just told by a Action Watersports guide to stay away at least 100 feet away from other vessels while going above 6 knots.
  
      Victim was immediately transported back to Action Watersports for her injuries.  Victim was able to get off the ski under her own power and walk at least 8 to 10 steps before complaining of severe pain to her leg and hip area.
  
      I issued Operator1 three warnings and 1 citation.  The warnings were negligent operation of a vessel, operating a PWC on state water in excess of 6 knots within 100 feet of another vessel, failure to obey navigation rules of the road rule 5 failure to maintain a proper lookout.  The citation was for failure to obey navigation rules of the road rule 8 failure to take action to avoid collision.
