RedactedNarrative: On 03 July 2022, Subject was operating his vessel in the vicinity of Cypress Pass and 6 Mile Lake in the Atchafalaya Basin. At approximately 1500 hours, he and his passengers departed a sandbar when his motor abruptly took a sharp turn causing the vessel to capsize and sink. 
  
  Operator and his four passengers were ejected from the vessel. Good Samaritans assisted in getting them out of the water and brought them to Wilson's Landing where they were transported to Franklin Foundation Hospital. 
  
  Subject had a dislocation to her left arm. Subject2 had extreme soreness to her left rib area and her left hip. Subject3 had a bruise on his right cheek and Subject4 had brush burns on his left forearm and his left rib area. All were cleared by a medical doctor and were free to leave. 
  
  During the investigation, it was noted that subjects 2 and 3 were both wearing Personal Floatation Devices (PFD's). No one involved remembers hitting anything in the water and explained that it all happened very quickly. Drugs and alcohol not believed to be a factor.
  
  Sgt noted that the steering linkage was still intact and that there was only slack in the cables. Sgt also determined that there were no damages to the engine's lower unit or propeller, indicating that it is unlikely that the vessel struck anything in the water, which would have caused the incident.  
  
  Operator advised us that a bench seat from truck was placed near the stern of the vessel which was the seat used for the 3 passengers. Operator as operating the vessel and his wife was next to him.  From the midship position to the stern, there was a total of 5 people. Due to the slack steering and all of the passengers loaded toward the rear of the vessel, it appears that the torque of the engine quickly turned the vessel, causing the vessel to flood and ejecting all of the passengers. After flooding the vessel sank.
