RedactedNarrative: While on patrol on August 4th, 2017 at around 1340 hrs I, Ofc., was dispatched to a boat accident in the area of 52nd street in the Assawoman Bay.  Myself and Ofc. responded to the rental company, Odyssea Watersports. 
       
        On arrival we met with the complainant and owner of Odyssea Watersports.  I asked him if anyone was injured and needed medical attention to which he responded with no.  He showed us the two jetskis that were involved in the accident.  The jetskis involved were jetskis numbered 3, bearing Maryland registration 3554 LB and numbered 11, bearing Maryland registration 3333 LB. Both jetskis were black and green in color. Jetski number 3 had significant damage to the left side of the bow on the ski which included cracked fiberglass and plastic parts.  The jetski owner called a repair company and received an estimate for $2200.  Jetski number 11 did not have any physical damage.  
  
       At this point, I spoke with the two operators on the jetskis and the guide who was out there at the time of the accident.  First, I asked all occupants of both jetskis if anybody was injured and needed medical attention to which they all respond no.   
  
  The operator of jetski #11 (operator1) stated that he was cruising at around 27-30 miles per hour and that jetski #3, (operator2) was stopped but started going forward without looking to their left and he turned to avoid the collision but could not slow down fast enough.  He said he then hit the left side of the jetski and rode over the bow of it. 
  
  I spoke with Operator2 and she stated that they were idling and then they were suddenly hit by another jetski from the left side.  I then spoke with the jetski guide and he said he did not witness the accident.  He said from what he could see after they were stopped in the water, is that it looked like jetski number 11 hit jetski number 3 hard and it from the damage he saw it looked like jetski number 3 was barely moving.
  
       After receiving statements from each of the operators and the jetski guide, I found Operator1 to be at fault by operating his jetski, number 11, over 6 knots well within 100 feet of jetski number 3 which is a violation of  08.18.02.05L.  Operator1 was cited as necessary.
  
  All events occurred in Worcester County,MD.
