RedactedNarrative: The operator of vessel 1 stated that he launched his vessel at Poppin Rock Boat Ramp. After launching, he traveled toward the Ky-1274 Bridge. He said it began to rain; as he came around the curve before the bridge, he believes that he may have blacked out because all he could remember is that it was raining and he had hit the bridge. 
  
  The vessel had substantial damage to bow and console damage. The operator suffered a broken left leg, cuts, and abrasions to the head and facial area. Rowan EMS transported the subject to Saint Claire Medical Center in Rowan County. After further investigation, the Ky-1274 Bridge had minimal scuffs on the center bridge pillar. 
   
  During a follow-up investigation with the family of the operator of Vessel 1, his daughter confirmed the subject had two broken legs and had a laceration near his right eye socket.
