On 06/19/13 at approximately 8:15 p.m. two vessels were traveling in  Fontenot Canal on Salvador WMA located in St. Charles Parish. Vessel 1 was traveling South into a blind right hand turn. Vessel 2 was traveling North into the turn but was on the left side of the channel, due to allowing a faster boat to pass him on his starboard side moments before.  When both vessels met in the turn, they were in a head on situation. 

Vessel 1 slowed and turned hard to his port, due to being against the right hand  bank, and wanted to avoid a head on collision.  Vessel 2 turned hard to starboard to try and avoid a collision, but at this moment the vessels collided.  Vessel 2 struck Vessel 1 under the starboard bow and punctured a hole into the hull.  Both subjects in Vessel 2 were injured. Vessel 1 rendered assistance and the occupants of Vessel 2 were transported to the St. Charles Hospital where they were treated for their injuries . Vessel 1 was a bass boat with remote steering and Vessel 2 was an aluminum mud boat with a remote, stick steering. 
The injuries to the occupants of Vessel 2, driver broken leg, and passenger, left broken ribs and left ruptured ear drum were caused by them being thrown into the port side of the vessel.
