UPDATE 10:21am 07/31/2011: Eye On Annapolis spoke with Sergeant Brian Albert of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources for more information. According to their preliminary investigation, it appears that the sailboat cut in front of the power boat and the power boat struck the sailboat. There were citations issued on the scene. Alcohols does not appear to have been a factor in this accident. Please see our other post on two other serious accidents in Anne Arundel County waters yesterday.
