RedactedNarrative: Operator # 1 stated to the effect:
  
  I was going under the bridge at about idle speed when I noticed fishing line caught on the left handlebar of the wave runner.  I was trying to get it off when the line became really tight and snapped.  I felt something hit me in the head and noticed I was bleeding.  I cannot tell you for sure if I was in the marked channel or underneath one of the other spans of the bridge.
  
  
  Investigation revealed:
  
  Operator #1 was operating a personal watercraft (PWC) transiting eastbound underneath the Rush Chattan Bridge (CR 619).  With regards to the operator's statement and her father's statement who was nearby on another PWC, it is unknown if the victim transited the bridge underneath the marked channel or not.  
  
  A fishing line became caught on the left handlebar of vessel #1.  Due to the forward movement of the vessel the line became taught and broke free.  Operator #1 was struck in the head by an unknown object, possibly the line itself or an unidentified fishing lure.  Operator #1 suffered a two to three inch laceration above her right temple.  
  
  Operator #1 was able to beach the vessel at the Corson's Inlet ramp.  Operator #1 was treated on scene by Ocean City Fire Department and transported to Shore Memorial Hospital for further treatment by same.  Operator #1 was alert and conscious prior to being transported.  It was later learned operator #1 required ten stitches to her injury.
  
  A check of the bridge for any people fishing over the span of the marked channel was met with negative results.  No fisherman on the bridge reported their fishing lines being snagged or pulled by Operator #1.
