RedactedNarrative: On August 26, 2017 at approximately 6:30 pm I, Cpl, was contacted by DNR Communications in reference to a boat accident. They advised that the accident was property damage only and all parties were back to the dock at Paradise Watersports in the West Channel. I responded to that location and made contact with the staff. They advised that two PWCs had collided while in the rental area and that there was extensive damage to one and slight damage to the other. I also confirmed with them that there were no injuries. 
  
  I contacted the operator of MD 7615 DA; the PWC with the majority of the damage. Operator1 advised that he was in the riding area making a turn when he looked up and saw another PWC in his path, heading straight at his bow. He explained that he attempted to avoid the collision and turned out of the way but there was no time. Just prior to the collision Operator1 estimated his speed to be around 30 MPH. 
  
  I also made contact with the operator of MD 7612 DA; the other PWC involved. He advised that he was traveling in a straight line at approximately 15 MPH when he saw the PWC operated by Operator1 make a hard turn and head towards him. Operator2 also stated that as the other PWC approached him he attempted to turn to avoid the collision. 
  
  After speaking with both parties, I inspected the damages and spoke again with staff. They explained a similar chain of events. That Operator2 was traveling in a straight line at a slower speed and Operator1 was traveling much faster and made a drastic turn, placing himself in Operator2's path. They also stated that both men attempted to turn to avoid the collision. 
  
  After speaking with all parties and observing the damages, I found that Operator1 was failing to provide a proper lookout while making a turn and was issued the appropriate citation. 
  
  All events occurred in Worcester County, MD.
