RedactedNarrative: This was a single vessel incident in Plaquemines Parish. Vessel 1 is described as a 22ft center console fiberglass boat powered by a 200hp outboard motor. There were 2 people onboard Vessel 1 (operator/passenger) positioned behind the center console (seated). 
  
  Operator of Vessel 1 was navigating at a cruising speed of approximately 40 mph in a bayou. The operator of Vessel 1 was headed for the left shoreline of the bayou. The passenger tried to alert the operator of the land that they were quickly approaching. It was too late. Vessel 1 struck the land. Both POB were ejected from the vessel onto the land and were unconscious. 
  
  Vessel 1 continued to travel across the land for approximately 150 ft. Neither alcohol nor drugs were contributing factors. No PFD's were worn by either POB. This was a grounding incident. Careless operation due to no proper look out and operator inattention is what contributed to this incident. There was no damage to Vessel 1. Both operator and passenger sought professional medical attention. The operator suffered a cut on his heel (approx. 3-4 inches) that required stiches, a bruise on his head (approx. 2 inches), and a strained back. The passenger suffered a broken shoulder and a broken wrist that required a cast and a sling.
