RedactedNarrative: On 06/29/2019, I (Officer) responded to Odysea Watersports located at 49th Street in Ocean City, MD for a report of a personal watercraft (PWC) accident. I arrived on scene around 1845 hours. Employees at Odysea Watersports advised that the rental PWC was involved in a collision at the location 45th street bayside in the Isle of Wight Bay where the PWC from their rental group collided with a dock belonging to the Taphouse Bar & Grill. 
  
  Upon arrival members from the rental PWC group were walking around and talking to employees of Odysea Watersports.  The driver of PWC #6, complained of minor right lower leg pain but was walking around and had applied his own bandage to his leg. He did request medical care and after being cleaned up by Ocean City Fire Department EMS, refused any transportation and additional care.  The Passenger of PWC #6 “Identified by name and DOB,” Stated that she did not sustain any injuries and did not need any medical care.  Ski #6, MD 9196 LB, was being dewatered with visible damage to the front end and steering area of the ski. Pictures of the PWC, rental information, and statements were collected on scene.
  
  The operator of ski # 6 stated that he was riding along when he got too close to the dock.  He was not able to stop so he pushed himself and Occupant off the ski before colliding with the dock.
  
  Occupant, The passenger of ski #6 stated they were driving the Jet Ski at a normal speed when they noticed that they were getting too close to the dock and could not stop the Jet Ski from running into the dock. When they hit the dock they fell off into the water. Bystanders came to help them out of the water and Operator and Occupant walked back to Odysea Watersports.
  
  At approximately 1945 I proceeded to 4507 Coastal Highway, Ocean City Maryland the Taphouse Bar and Grill where I was met by one of the managers at the Taphouse. He was able to take me to the dock and show me the damages done and send me pictures that were taken at the time of the accident. He also stated that a server witnessed the accident as it occurred and that a patron staying at the hotel A Loft, located next to the Taphouse had also witnessed the accident and both were willing to provide statements.
  
  Subject1, a server at The Taphouse, stated that he was taking an order when he saw through the window a jet ski going very fast and crash into the dock. He said that the speed and direction of the Jet Ski never changed as it crashed into the dock head on. Subject1 went out and helped the people out of the water and stated both riders left the scene.
  
  Subject2, a patron staying at the A Loft hotel located next to The Taphouse, stated that he was on the 5th floor on the balcony when he watched a jet ski go past about 30 feet from shore, U-Turn around, gas up and run head on to the dock located off The Taphouse. As they hit the dock the riders rolled to the right and the Jet Ski wet under the dock. The driver didn’t let off the throttle until the Jet Ski was about to hit the dock. Subject2 also stated that both riders were not looking forward but looking at the direction of shore when they were about to hit the dock.
  
  Odysea Watersports reported the total damages to be $5083.01 with the estimates from Bayside Jet drive and Riva Yamaha.
  
  I determined that Operator was at fault and caused the accident. He received a citation for failure to obey navigation rules of the road number 8 on the day of accident. Upon investigation he will also be receiving citations for operating a PWC more than 6 knots within 100' of a pier and given a citation for negligent operation of a vessel.
