RedactedNarrative: Operator1 was coming back from his Uncle's duck blind when a crab pot wrapped around his propeller.  When he got the crab pot off, it was dark, and he proceeded to follow his track line on his GPS back to the dock at Walnut Island. He said he could see the lights at Walnut Island. Then noticed a structure in front of him and as he tried to turn the boat, he hit a duck blind.  When he hit the duck blind, Operator1 fell forward causing him to push the throttle forward. 
  
  When the boat stopped, part of the duck blind fell on him. Operator1 then removed the duck blind and called the Coast Guard on his marine radio.

EMS transferred him to OBX Hospital. He was wearing a PFD.  Alcohol and Drugs were not a contributing factors to the incident. No charges were filed.
