RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was traveling Southbound on the Suwannee River near Clay Landing Boat ramp. Vessel 1 struck the flood zone sign in the river near the Dixie County side of the river.  As a result of the collision the vessel went in to the trees on the bank of the river.
  
  1) At about 1920 hours Operator was operating his Carolina Skiff on the Suwannee River heading down river in the area of Clay Landing traveling at a speed around 25 MPH.
  2) Operator was intoxicated and did not notice the sign as he came around a bend in the river.
  3) When he noticed the sign he jerked the steering wheel in such a manner that the steering cable broke.
  4) The vessel struck the sign and veered off into the trees on the north bank of the river.
  5) Neither Operator nor his passenger were injured.
  
  Through the course of my investigation I determined that Operator was impaired by alcoholic beverages and he was placed under arrest. See incident Summary report for Offence #FWNC19OFF3119 for more details on the BUI investigation
