RedactedNarrative:   On 2 July 2016 at approximately 845PM, I, Officer First Class of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, was contacted by Department of Natural Resources communications regarding a personal injury PWC accident on Greenwood Creek, Eastern Bay. Communications advised there was one female subject with a suspected broken leg; QACO EMS and fire were in route, and all subjects were out of the water and accounted for.
  
       I met QACO EMS and fire at 311 Whistling Swan Lane, Queenstown, and found the female subject, was in the back of the ambulance with QACO Paramedics. Grasonville VFD informed me that QAEMS had called for Maryland State Police medivac flight to University of Maryland Shock Trauma. QAEMS stated she had closed injuries to her lower extremities caused by impact.
  
       At this point I made contact with the operator of the striking jet ski, who was uninjured. He was alert and coherent and there was no odor of alcohol on his person; he scored 0 points of Standardized Field Sobriety Testing. Operator stated that the two ski boats had collided perpendicular (side to side); Victim was in the water attempting to board the ski and was between the two skis when they collided. Operator advised he was attempting to spray the ski that Victim was boarding, when he lost control and slid into side to side contact. 
  
  Operator2 was not on scene at the time of my arrival, he had already left for UMD Shock Trauma to be with Victim, who is his girlfriend. A statement was obtained from him and Victim by Officer First Class, of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, at UMD Shock Trauma. 
  
       The skis were owned by the same person, who was hosting a party at which all three involved were attending. All three occupants had permission to use the vessels, and he confirmed they had not been drinking before they used the skis. Owner stated all occupants had been wearing life jackets when they left. His residence is across the creek from where EMS picked up the injured individuals.
  
  In conclusion of the initial investigation, Operator2 was charged with;
  NR 8-704/08.18.01.05.B – Negligent operation of a vessel
  NR 8-704/08.18.02.05L – Operating a PWC at speeds greater than 6knots less than 100 feet from another vessel

  ALL OBSERVATIONS ARE BASED ON MY TRAINING, KNOWELDGE, AND EXPERIENCE. ALL EVENTS OCCURRED IN QUEEN ANNES COUNTY, MARYLAND.
