RedactedNarrative: On July 13,2022 at 1905 hours Officer, and I Officer responded to the area of the Route 50 Bridge in the Isle Of Wight for a jet ski that had lost power and was taking on water.  Upon arrival officers located the jet ski in question which was a 2013 Yamaha Super Jet Maryland registration.  This jet ski had lost power and was sinking, as it was drifting dangerously close to the RT 50 Bridge.  It should be noted that the current was very strong, and the current was causing the jet ski to sink.  Officer was able to secure the jet ski, and I was able to retrieve the operator from water.  The jet ski and Subject1 were taken to the commercial harbor.
  
      I asked Subject1 what happened and he stated the following.  Subject1 stated that on July 13, 2022 at 1900 hours he was traveling southbound in the Isle of Wight Bay.  Subject1 stated that the jet ski had suddenly lost power, and the jet ski began to drift.  Subject1 stated that since the jet ski was unable to move, it began to take on water.  The speed at which the current was traveling overwhelmed the jet ski, and the jet ski began to sink.  Subject1 did not receive any injuries in this matter.  Subject1 stated that jet ski was valued at $10,000.00 and may be a total loss.  Subject1 stated though he was going to try and make the repairs himself to jet ski.  The Jet ski received heavy water damage.  The jet ski was left with Subject1 at the commercial harbor, and Subject1 was going to make his own disposition of the jet ski.
  
          The unknown mechanical engine failure, and swiftness of the current is what caused the vessel to begin to take on water and sink.  No other environmental, or operator factors were a factor in this incident.
  
      All above events occurred in Worcester County, Maryland.
