RedactedNarrative: On July 31,2015 at approximately 1051 hrs., writer was dispatched to Action Watersports 55th Street in Ocean City in reference to a boating accident involving two PWCs  from a rental company. Upon arrival it was determined that one of the operator (the actual guide) had been taken to a local immediate care facility for treatment by the guides mother.
  
  Writer did meet with the operator of the other PWC involved. The operator stated that he had been following the PWC in front of him and "I was obviously going too fast, and I was too close." Operator1 said that when they got to the area they were going to ride, the PWC in front of him stopped and turned to the left. "Since I was going a lot faster than I should have, I hit the ski and knocked the guide off." As result of the impact, the PWC guide injured his right leg, and the rub rail of the PWC he was on was damaged and the hull was cracked. Operator1 took full responsibility for the accident and in his statement to me admitted that he was going greater than 6 knots within 100' of the PWC in front of him.
  
  After being treated, writer was able to speak with the guide who related the same story Operator1 had told. The injury  was diagnosed as a deep bruise.
  
  As a result of the investigation and the statements given to me by both parties, operator1 was charged with violation NR 8-704 08.18.02.05L Operate PWC greater than 6 knots within 100" of a vessel..
