RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated to the effect: I was fishing in my boat around and under the bridge. I was drifting south to north under the bridge to the east side of the main bridge supports. Without sufficient warnings the bridge opened and the concrete counter weight came down on myself and my boat, pushing the boat against the bridge. I must of passed out, the next thing I remember was i was on my back in the boat drifting about 60 yards north of the bridge. Another fisherman came along side and towed me and the boat to shore.
  
  Investigation revealed:
  Vessel #1 was drifting south to north under the Ocean Drive bridge in the area of Townsends Inlet. OP1 stated that he did hear a horn that is sounded when the bridge opens, However did not believe it was loud or sufficient enough to believe it was for the bridge he was currently under. The bridge opened
  and the counter weight of the bridge landed on his vessel, striking him in the head and shoulder area
  causing him to fall into his boat. The counter weight then continued to move around his vessel striking
  the helm and multiple other locations within the vessel OP1 was then assisted to shore by another
  vessel where he was transported by Cape May EMS to Cape Regional Hospital for further evaluation.
  
  The cause of this accident was due to the operator failing to maintain sufficient look out of his
  surrounding area.
