RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, August 31, 2019, at approximately 6:20 PM, I, Officer of the Maryland Natural Resources Police was dispatched to Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie, MD for a boating accident involving a single Yamaha PWC and a passenger that was thrown from the PWC. Upon my arrival, Cpl. \ and I met with the injured passenger, Victim and her mother.
  
  We began to interview Victim, as she described, she was in slight pain on the right side of her body and had trouble taking deep breaths. She had a neck brace on as a precaution. She explained that her boyfriend, Operator, was the operator of the vessel. At the time of this interview, Operator was not at the hospital, but he was on his way to meet with us. Victim further explained that they were on the Yamaha PWC on Stoney Creek near Black Rocks. A large vessel caught them off-guard by creating a very large wake while they were up on plane going approximately 20 mph toward the Stoney Creek draw bridge. When I asked how the water and traffic conditions were, Victim explained that it was pretty choppy from boat traffic, but at the time there was only the one vessel that created the wake that was near them. Victim stated she was thrown from the PWC right before Operator was thrown off. Victim said she hit the water hard and felt like she "blacked out" momentarily. Victim was unsure of the time of the accident but believed it was somewhere around 5:30 PM. At the time of the interview, a nurse was taking vitals and asking general questions about the accident. Victim was unable give us any description of the PWC that she was on. In the meantime, Cpl.  and I waited for Operator to arrive to meet with him to ask questions and further our investigation.
  
  At 7:37 PM, Cpl. and I met with Operator and his mother. We asked him some general questions about the accident and asked him to complete a voluntary statement, which he complied. The mother of operator is the owner of the vessel, and it is a 2008 Yamaha 11'6" Gray PWC bearing Maryland registration 8635 BZ. I asked Operator if he had a boater safety education card, which he presented to me. He explained he had his certification since he was 12 and has spent well over 500 hours on the water operating various types of vessels. Operator explained that they were in the area of Black Rocks on Stoney Creek and headed toward the Stoney Creek draw bridge when a large white vessel came from behind them and to the right. He said they were on plane, but not going fast and were caught off-guard by the large wake that caused the accident. He said that both him and Victim were thrown off the PWC and they both were able to get back on after a couple minutes. He believed that the accident occurred around 5:30 PM, but was unsure. Operator said he did not suffer any injuries and they returned to Pat's Pier located near Black Rocks. where boaters generally launch their PWC's. The approximate location is Latitude: 39.1696 and Longitude: -76.5153.  At the time of the accident winds were approximately Northeast at 10-15 kts.
  
  At 7:50 PM, I contacted Victim's mother, for an update on her injury status. At that time, they had removed the neck brace and had completed a sonogram on the right side of Victim's abdomen where she was complaining of pain. She stated she would follow-up later Saturday evening to keep me updated.
  
  On Sunday, September 1st, 2019, at 9:40 AM, I contacted subject for an update on Victim's injuries, and she stated they were released from the hospital around 12:00 AM this morning. She explained they held her to make sure she did not have any internal bleeding and to complete a secondary sonogram. The results came back good, and she said the only thing in question was her ribs where she was still having pain. She said there's a possibility that she may have a broken rib, but the doctor was unable to find any fractures. She stated she would contact me with any updates if Victim's status changes.
  
  All events occurred in Anne Arundel County, MD.
