RedactedNarrative: On September 5, 2014, I, OFC, of the Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) took the report of a boat accident that occurred in the Chesapeake Bay. An occupant of an underway sail boat fell and sustained right leg injuries that required medical attention at Anne Arundel Medical Center. 
  
  On September 5, 2014, at about 1334 hours, I, OFC, of the MD NRP, received a call from dispatch (DNR) in regards to responding to the Bay Bridge Marina for the report of a subject that fell on a sail boat and subsequently injured his right leg in the Queen Anne’s County portion of the Chesapeake Bay. DNR advised that the victim was thought to have a broken leg and was being brought to the gas dock of the Bay Bridge Marina by the vessel he fell on. 
  
  I arrived to the Bay Bridge Marina at approximately 1404 hours. I saw numerous fire trucks and ambulances from the Kent Island Volunteer Fire Company, along with Queen Anne’s County Paramedic personnel, parked near Hemmingway’s Restaurant . I proceeded down to the fuel dock and saw an Anne Arundel County Fire Department Rescue Boat docked near a large blue sail boat. I walked over to the boat that all of the EMS crews were gathered around and saw a white male lying on the back deck. The injured white male would later be identified.  The boat would later be identified as the United States Coast Guard Documented Vessel “Perfection”, with hailing port of Philadelphia, PA. “Perfection” is a 1990 45’5” Bristol cabin sail boat , with a blue colored hull and 90 horse power in-board diesel motor. 
  
  The weather conditions in the Chesapeake Bay were waves less than 1 foot with approximate 10 knot wind out of the southwest. The temperature was about 90 degrees. 
  
  I stepped onto the vessel and made contact with the vessel’s Captain, who identified himself. Operator advised that there were six people on board the vessel at the time of the accident, to include himself as the boat operator. Operator advised that they left the Bay Bridge Marina about 12:30 PM as they were traveling towards Annapolis, MD. Operator advised that they were tacking across the bay, westbound, with a portside tack and slight heel to port, as he pointed to the middle of the Bay, just south of the WPL Bay Bridge. Operator advised that Victim missed a step down as he was walking to the rear of the vessel. Operator advised that he turned around and saw Victim lying on the deck of the boat. Operator advised that it was determined that Victim had incurred a serious injury to his right leg. Operator advised that he called for assistance over VHF radio and began to head back to the Bay Bridge Marina under power. Operator advised that he docked the vessel at the Bay Bridge Marina Fuel Dock, where EMS Personnel began to stabilize Victim. 
  
  EMS personnel removed Victim from the vessel and transported him to Anne Arundel County Medical Center at 1416 hours for right leg injuries. EMS advised that his leg was possibly broke and/or had a dislocation issue. Refer to QACO EMS incident number 14005408 for further. 
  
  Operator provided me with information and all pertinent vessel information. I called cell phone and spoke with him about the accident. I later provided him with the NRP number. Refer to the boat accident report attachment for further information about the vessel and insurance information. The vessel was found to contain all required safety equipment. 
  
  Operator advised that he drank about 1 and a half beers while on the sail boat. During my conversations with Operator, he exhibited no signs of impairment. I also conducted SFST’s Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test on Operator, which he performed acceptably. Operator and his passengers were allowed to leave the area at 1440 hours. 
  
  I took several digital pictures during the accident investigation. 
  
  I cleared from the area at 1500 hours. 
  
  All events occurred in Queen Anne’s County, MD. 
  
  This case is closed.
