On July 14th, 2012 at approximately 6:30 pm. Game Warden received a call from Capt. about a boat accident that had occurred in Cedar Bayou, near Roseland Park boat ramp in Chambers County TX.  Warden arrived on scene at approximately 7:00 pm and spoke with the Baytown Fire Dept. to get updated on the situation.  Fire Depart told Warden that at approximately 4:30 pm a Jon boat with two occupants collided with another boat just south of the boat ramp.  The occupants of the Jon boat were ejected into the water and the other vessel fled the scene.  One of the occupants of the Jon boat had been picked up by another passing vessel, but the driver of the Jon boat was still missing.  
  The passenger had sustained injuries from the collision.  He had scrapes to his right cheek and on his upper right back.  He also complained of pain in his right arm.  Warden spoke with V1 occupant to ask him what had happened.  He stated that he and his friend arrived at the boat ramp at approximately 1:30 pm.  They launched V1 occupant’s Jon boat and headed north from the boat ramp with V1 occupant driving the vessel.  They drove north for some time then turned around and headed back towards the boat ramp.  When they neared the boat ramp, they switched drivers and Operator1 began operating the jon boat.  They continued to head south towards the railroad trestles.  Approximately ½ mile past the trestles there was a curve in the bayou.  As they went around this curve V1 occupant saw another vessel heading  towards them.  V1 occupant described this boat as a white, v- bottom boat with a blue pinstripe.  It had chrome railing up front that extended out.  V1 occupant stated that there were 2 individuals in the vessels- possibly a white man and a Hispanic man.   Operator1  veered to the left and  the other boat moved in the same direction as Operator1.  V1 occupant felt that Operator1 tried to move back to the right but by this time the distance between the two vessels had closed and the two vessels collided.  V1 occupant states that the next thing he knew he was under water.  When he came up he looked around and saw the boat they had collided with slow down and look back.  Once they saw V1 occupant they got back up on plane and fled the scene.  V1 occupant then looked around for Operator1, but was unable to find him.  V1 occupant then flagged down a passing vessel and told them what had happened.  This vessel picked V1 occupant up and returned him to the boat ramp.  After Warden spoke with V1 occupant he was taken to the hospital for medical treatment.
