While heading back to the boat ramp in the late evening, the operator and passenger were not paying attention to their direction of travel because they were watching a fire on the shoreline.  The vessel struck a guard rail on a causeway causing the boat to roll over.  The passenger who was sitting in the front of the vessel, hit the inside of the vessel with his face and then both occupants were ejected when the vessel rolled over due to the impact.

The injured passenger was transported to a local hospital for treatment.  The operator was arrested for BWI.  Additional charges pending.

Investigation and report filed by Game Warden.
