RedactedNarrative: On 05/17/2019, I (Officer First Class) responded to Odysea Watersports located at 49thStreet in Ocean City, MD for a report of a personal watercraft (pwc) collision. I arrived on scene along with LT around 1300 hours. Employees at Odysea Watersports advised that the group of rental pwc's were headed out to their riding location in the Isle of Wight Bay where two pwc's from their rental group collided with each other.
  
  Upon arrival all members from the rental pwc group were walking around and talking to employees of Odysea Watersports. The driver of the pwc #10,(The vessel that was struck complained of minor knee pain but was walking around and icing his knee. The Driver of pwc #5 (The striking vessel was also walking around with no present injuries. All parties stated they did not need medical treatment at that time. The Guide and witness to the collision was also on scene.
  
  I spoke with the subjects involved. Operator1 was operating the pwc that caused the accident with MD registration of 9200 LB (Ski #5) with no passengers. He stated he was operating the pwc at full speed towards the direction of land when he noticed the other pwc heading in his path. He stated that he tried to turn but the other pwc turned right in front of him where they collided hitting the front of his pwc into the other pwc's left side. Operator2 was operating pwc with MD registration of 9232 LB (Ski #10) with no passengers. He stated that he was turning and was headed back out into the pwc riding area when he noticed the other pwc headed right at him. He tried to turn out of the way but the other pwc collided with him hitting the left front side of his pwc and knee. Both operators stated this was their first time on pwc's and did not know what they were doing. Operator1 did not sustain any injuries and Operator2 had some pain in his left knee. Both refused needing any medical treatment.
  
  Speaking with the guide he stated that as soon as the group went out that two of the pwc's took off into a restricted area and by the time he was able to catch up to those ski's, he saw the other two pwc's #5 and #10 collide stating that ski #5 was operating recklessly and caused the accident.
  
  I determined that Operator1 caused the accident. He received a citation for operating a pwc more than 6 knots within 100' of another vessel, failure to fallow navigation rules of the road #8, and negligent operation of a vessel. Inexperience was a big factor in this.
  All events occurred in Worcester County, MD
