RedactedNarrative: On May 28 at approximately 4:51 PM there was a two vessel collision on Big Creek in Rapides Parish. Vessel 1 was a 2002 16' Xpress aluminum console steer boat operated by Operator 1). Vessel 2 was a 2020 20'11" Phoenix 721 ProXP fiberglass console steer boat operated by Operator 2.   Vessel 1 was traveling in a direction of north/northeast at approximately 20-25mph in Big Creek entering into a left hand 90 degree turn when it met Vessel 2. Vessel 2 was traveling south to southwest in Big Creek entering into a right hand 90 degree curve traveling at approximately 35-45mph.    Vessel 1 was operating to the left of center of the channel when the two boats began to approach each other.  Vessel 2 then maneuvered to his starboard side as the rules of the road states that one should do when approaching another vessel head on.  Vessel 1 then maneuvered to his port side which made each vessel turn in the same direction still creating a head on collision.  Vessel 2 then maneuvers to his port side to attempt to avoid collision, but in reaction Vessel 1 then maneuvers to his starboard side causing his starboard bow to collide with the starboard stern of Vessel 2, ejecting the operator of Vessel 1.  Each operator was wearing the proper PFD and kill switch lanyard.  Impairment is not suspected to be a factor in the crash.   On June 1, 2021 at approximately 4:45 PM Operator 1 was issued a citation for Careless Operation.
