RedactedNarrative: On 8/31/2022 I, OFC, of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, received a call from Eastern Watersports in Middle River that one of their PWC’s was in a boating accident on 8/18/22. The PWC was deemed totaled, and they wanted to pass along information to NRP for reporting purposes.
  
  
              On 8/18/22 Eastern Watersports rented their BRP Queretaro PWC. The two were a part of a large group of rentals for PWCs at Eastern Watersports. The group got separated and extended past their rental time. An employee of Eastern Watersports went out to gather the group to head back to the marina. Subject1 found Operator and told them to follow him back to Seneca Creek to locate the rest of the party. Subject1 said he was traveling 300 yards from the shoreline at the mouth of Seneca Creek and Operator was between his PWC and the shoreline. At a rate of approximately 35 knots, Operator’s PWC had struck a submerged rock jetty or similar rock structure extending out from the point of land near Seneca Creek. Subject1 said he did not witness the actual crash but looked back to see that Operator were in the water and the PWC was taking on water. Subject1 helped the two take the PWC to Miami Beach a couple of hundred feet up the river to beach the PWC safely to store until they can get it trailered out.
  
   
  
              All the information regarding this incident was notified to NRP on 8/31/22. Eastern Watersports provided contact info and waiver agreements for the operators of the PWC, images of the damage done to the PWC, a repair order to show the total cost for the damages, and incident reports from the employee witnesses to the incident. There is a significantly large hole on the port side hull of the PWC extending from the bow to the stern of the vessel. The damage also went deep enough to damage the engine itself. There were no injuries in result of the accident. The cost for the damages is currently being held between the two parties.
