RedactedNarrative: On 6/19/2021 at approx 1730 hours I was notified about a vessel accident in the area of Assawoman bay, Marker 4-A. I received contact information for the Reporting Person. I contacted Reporting Party via phone and was advised that he was involved in a boating accident, operator of Vessel-1 DL 2680 AM. 
  
  I was advised that there were no injuries, and that everyone was accounted for and ok. I then asked if there were any other injuries on the other vessel involved. Reporting Party advised that there were none and that they appeared ok as well. I then asked Reporting Party if either of the boats sustained damage as to cause them to take on water and sink. I was advised that there was not. 
  
  I contacted Cpl. who was underway on the Rehoboth Bay to advise the particulars. I called back to advise Reporting Party of the response time and it was determined that the parties would continue to the dock and I would follow up to document the damage and obtain statements. Reporting Party understood and was able to operate his vessel safely back to the dock. Prior to Reporting Party departing, he handed the phone to the operator of Vessel-2 DL 5954 Y. 
  
  I confirmed that there were no injuries and that there was no damage to the vessel taking on water. I stated the same with the delayed response time. Operator2 agreed and understood to operating her vessel back to the dock where I would contact her on 6/20/21 to document the damage and obtain statements. 
  
  On 6/20/2021 at approx 1030hrs I met with Operator1 to document the damage sustained to his vessel. I photographed the damaged vessel, see photos-photo log. I also took a state of what Operator1 accounts for the incident. Operator1 stated that he was operating his vessel in the assawoman ditch heading north on DL 2680 AM. Operator1 stated that he observed a disabled vessel in between marker 4-4A. Operator1 then stated that he could see a vessel heading south at a high rate of speed and what appeared to be on his side of the channel. Operator1 stated that he was making way approx 10-15 mph at a plow speed because of the disabled boat, as to not wake it. Operator1 also stated that he had boating experience since 1999.
  
  On 6/20/2021 at approx 1054hrs I met with S-2 Operator2 to document the damage sustained to her vessel, DL 5954 Y, and take a statement of her account of the incident. I documented the damage with photographs, see photos and photo log. Operator2 stated that she was heading southbound in the area of marker 4, the other vessel was northbound. Operator2 stated that she was traveling on her right side of the channel along the green markers. She stated that she was at a speed approx 4,000 rpm approx 20mph.

The vessel DL 5954 Y at the time of the accident held expired registration, renewed after the interview 6/20/2021. On 6/22/2021 the vessel was pulled out on trailer, I documented the underside damage, see photos and photo log. On 6/22/2021 I located a camera that captured the accident. 
  
  The video shows S-2 traveling south onplane, the disabled vessel, dead in the water, and S-1 traveling north on-plane. At approx 1723 the collision occurs and the vessels stop. Both operators were charged with a rules of the road violation #Rule 8 for actions to avoid collision, failure to reduce speed and Operator2 for unregistered vessel.
