RedactedNarrative: On 08/06/21, at approximately 1620 hrs, Maryland Natural Resource Police, responded to the Lakeside Creamery docks for a boat accident resulting in property damage and no injuries. The Lakeside Creamery docks are located in the Main Body area of Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County, Maryland.  Once on the scene, I spoke with witnesses. WITNESS 1 stated he witnessed a pontoon boat (MD3360LB) leaving the Lakeside Creamery docks. The boat turned too close to a boat that was docked and rode up onto the rear area of the boat.  WITNESS 1 stated he heard cracking from the engine area of the boat.  An employee stated while relaxing on a boat he heard a loud crash and noticed that a red pontoon boat struck a black pontoon boat.  I spoke with the operator, OPERATOR 1, of the rental pontoon that struck the boat.  OPERATOR 1 stated while he was leaving the Lakeside Creamery dock, a wake struck his boat. When a passenger on his boat walked past him he looked back towards the rear of the boat and once he did he realized he hit the engine of a docked pontoon boat (MD5954CD) in front of him. 
  At the time of the incident, owner of MD5954CD, was with his family getting ice cream when a witness was asking for the owner of the Harris pontoon boat at the docks.  Once owner got back to his boat, he hit his boat in the rear.  OPERATOR 1 was issued one DNR citation (number 6Y66283454) for negligent operation.       
  Damage estimate to follow for the boat that was struck.
