On 4/2/13 at approximately 1900 hrs I, Sgt. was notified of a boat incident which had occurred in the ICW, St. Martin Parish, in front of Doiron"s Landing. Upon my arrival the operator was sitting in a vessel in shock. At the time Operator advised that he could not remember anything that happened. After speaking to several witnesses they advised that Operator was test running his race boat when a tug boat had passed in the area.  When Operator was passing in front of the landing his vessel hit a wave, jumped up and when it landed on the next wave the vessel became air born and flipped end over end, at which time it ejected Operator from the vessel.  The vessel then landed on the water in an upright position and came to rest. Operator was transported to Teche Regional Hospital by Acadian Ambulance and he was wearing his PFD, kill switch and a helmet at the time of the incident.  No alcohol or drugs are suspected in this incident.
