RedactedNarrative: On November 24, 2017 I (Sgt.) received a call from Lt. that there had been a boat accident in the Orleans Parish area.  It was found that the accident happened in Chef Pass and the victims were transported to the Chef Pass boat launch. 
  
  When we arrived on scene, we found the two operators. They explained to us that all of their passengers were headed to University Hospital in New Orleans. 
  
  One of the passengers had severe head trauma and the others were headed there for precautionary reasons. Operator3 stated that he just came off plane when he was struck from behind by Operator2, whose boat ramped completely over him.  
  
  The impact severely injured one of Operator3's passengers.  Operator2 explained to us that he was following his cousin Operator3 when the bimini top on his boat tore. When he tried to fix it he ran into the back of  Operator3, ramping him. Upon the ramping one of his passengers thrown over board but sustained no injuries. He the motored toward her and got her back into the vessel. When he got her back into the boat, he noticed the boat was taking on water and before he could turn on the bilge pump the boat rolled  to port and capsized. 
  
  When the passengers of Operator2's boat went into the water they put on their life jackets. A good Samaritan came along side the capsized vessel and picked up all the persons in the water and transported them back to the launch. Operator3 was towed back to the launch with the victim that had severe head trauma. Operator3’s vessel sustained a large amount of damage and was brought back to the St. Bernard boat yard for photographs Operator2's vessel was capsized but myself, we went to the area and found it floating up side down where we photographed it. Alcohol nor drugs were not a factor in this accident. No citations were issued at the time charges are still pending.
