RedactedNarrative: On September 7, 2020 I responded to in reference to a jet ski explosion.  OPERATOR 1’s mother had called to report that her daughter, OPERATOR 1, had been operating a jet ski on September 6, 2020 on the Potomac River in the area of the Potomac Fish and Game Club when it exploded. The jet ski is owned by and registered to OPERATOR 1's father.  I met the family at their home at approximately 2030 hours to take written statements from OPERATOR 1 and her boyfriend who witnessed the explosion.  OPERATOR 1 stated that she had been operating the jet ski with no issues on September 5, and had tied it to a friend's private dock at Potomac Fish and Game Club overnight, and the explosion occurred when she attempted to start it for the first time on September 6 to load it onto the trailer.  OPERATOR 1 stated that when the jet ski exploded, pieces flew off the front, off the back, and the fiberglass hull cracked and struck her in the left leg.  OPERATOR 1 stated that she had a slight bruise and a headache from the explosion but claimed she was uninjured.  Operator 1’s father stated that the damage to the jet ski was unrepairable and considered the vessel a total loss.
  
  All events occurred in Washington and Frederick Counties, Maryland.
