RedactedNarrative: On July 7, 2016, agents received information from the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office Dispatch that a subject had been struck by a boat propeller on the top of his foot. Assumption Dispatch advised that the incident happened at the Lake Bash on Lake Verret and the subject was being transported in by first responders to a nearby boat launch where the ambulance was waiting. Agents responded to the Teche Regional Medical Hospital in Morgan City and spoke with the subject. 
      When S.A. asked Victim what he remembered about the incident, he stated that all he remembered was noticing a fiberglass boat backing up towards him as he was swimming. Victim stated that he tried to get out of the way and that was when he felt his right foot get struck but her vessel's propeller. Victim was the only that witnessed the incident and that the operator of the vessel, who was a male, never noticed him. Victim also stated that he swam to his family's houseboat nearby to seek help and at that time he was transported to the nearby launch and then transported by Acadian Ambulance to the hospital. 
  
  S.A. asked Victim if he could remember what the vessel looked like, but he was only able to say that the vessel was fiberglass, and that he could not remember what color, kind of engine, or how many people were onboard. Victim stated that he just freaked out and began swimming as fast as possible to try to get out of the way. S.A. then asked if he tried yelling to get the operator's attention. Victim stated that he did not try anything except for swimming and that the vessel had loud music playing. S.A. then provided Victim with a voluntary witness statement form and a diagram page to be completed at a later date.
  
  
      Senior Agent cannot verify any information on the vessel that struck Victim or any other information other than what Victim provided. No other witnesses have come forward at this time. Victim was not wearing a PFD while he was swimming. Alcohol and or drugs are unknown factors.
