RedactedNarrative: On April 16, 2020 an 18.5 foot Mirage vessel (unregistered) was being operated by Operator, 22, of Geismar, LA as it traveled downstream in the Amite River Diversion Canal in Livingston Parish at a high rate of speed. As the Mirage crossed the wake of another vessel, traveling ahead of it and in the same direction, the Mirage became airborne. 
  
  Upon secondary contact with the water the operator of said vessel lost control and the vessel hooked violently 360 degrees then sank.

The vessel was found to be equipped with all of the required safety equipment and PFD's. PFD's were not being worn at the time of the incident. Investigators determined operator inexperience and speed to be the two main contributing factors in this incidents occurrence. Upon conclusion of the investigation subject was issued citations for careless operation and operation of an unregistered vessel.
