RedactedNarrative: On 09/10/2021 at approximately 1400 hours Maryland Natural Resources Police and other NRP officers were dispatched to the area of the Route 90 Bridge and the Isle of Wight Bay for a possible PWC accident. DNR communications center didn’t have much information at that time so units started searching the general area. After a short search, the other NRP vessel discovered a rental PWC group in the Isle of Wight Bay near Herring Creek. They made contact with the injured subject and transported him to a nearby boat ramp to meet with EMS. The injured subject was later identified as OP1 and he was transported to Tidal Health in Salisbury, Maryland for possible broken ribs.
  I responded to the rental company to meet with the rental company staff, and OP1’s daughter who was on the PWC with him. She said her dad went to make a turn, hit a wave, and got thrown into the handle bars of the PWC. She said there were no other PWCs involved. She stated she wasn’t injured and didn’t require medical attention. OP1’s wife was also on scene and I told her to have OP1 call me the follow day after he was discharged from the hospital. The rental company staff stated there was no damage to the PWC.
  I cleared that location without incident.
  The following day, OP1 called me and provided me with his basic information and his account of the events the day prior. OP1 stated he went to make a turn and got thrown into the handle bars of the PWC after hitting a wave/ wake. OP1 stated he had broken his ribs. I provided him with the NRP case number and answered any questions he had.
  Cleared without incident.
  All the above events occurred in Worcester County, Maryland.
