RedactedNarrative: On Friday, July 29, 2016, agents with the LA DWF received a call at approximately 8:25 p.m. regarding a 2 vessel collision on the Tcheduncte River in Madisonville, LA. Agents responded to the scene where it was discovered that Vessel 1, a 16' Bass Tracker, was idling in (or near) a legally posted No Wake Zone when it was partially ramped from it's stern by Vessel 2, a 20' Regal. 
  
  According to witnesses, the Regal was travelling at a high rate of speed at the time of impact.  All 3 occupants of the partially ramped vessel (Vessel 1) were ejected into the water and rescued, while all 6 of the occupants on Vessel 2 were rescued after it began to sink. The 2 adults in Vessel 1 were not wearing PFD's but the 5 year old juvenile was.  
  
  The adult passenger sustained moderate injuries to her neck and hip area. She was treated at a local hospital and released shortly thereafter. No other injuries were reported by any other passengers or operators. 
  
  Vessel 1 had all USCG approved PFD's on board but it is unclear what PFD's, if any, Vessel 2 had since it is almost totally submerged at this time.  Both vessels have remote steering.  No alcohol or drug use was involved with Vessel 1's operator but alcohol was suspected with Vessel 2's operator, who was subsequently arrested at the scene for DWI and later booked into jail. 
  
  After further investigation, operator2 additionally charged with 14:39.1 Vehicular Negligent Injuring and 34:851.4 Careless Operation of a Watercraft.
