RedactedNarrative: On June 20, 2020, I, Sgt. 1, was contacted by the Shreveport Police Department about a boat incident on Cross Lake in Caddo Parish.  They informed me that two vessels were involved in the incident, and they were both currently tied up at a private residence on the lake.  I then proceeded to the private residence and make contact with the operators of both vessels.  Operator 1 was operating Vessel 1, and Operator 2 was operating Vessel 2.  Vessel 1 had six people total onboard at the time of the incident, and Vessel 2 had two people total onboard.  The incident happened at approximately 21:30 hours.  Navigational lights were required to be on at 20:25 hours on June 20, 2020.  Operator 1 stated Vessel 1 was traveling west at half throttle approximately 200 yards from the south bank of Cross Lake.  He stated he made a turn to the port to go towards a private residence.  Operator 1 said when he made the port turn he hit another vessel (Vessel 2).  He stated just prior to the impact he saw a green light on the vessel, which he described as being at the stern of the vessel.  He stated his vessel kept going forward for awhile before coming to a stop.  One female was transported to the hospital from Vessel 1, but she was found to have no injuries.  Operator 2 stated Vessel 2 was traveling east at around 10-15 MPH approximately 150-200 yards from the south bank.  He stated he had two boats traveling towards him when Vessel 1 cut in between the two boats and made a port turn in front of him.  Operator 2 said he tried to cut the wheel hard to the starboard but Vessel 2 hit his vessel on the port side towards the bow.  He stated that the only thing he could remember about the collision is seeing the word Bayliner (It should be noted that Vessel 1 is a Bayliner boat.) right in front of his face, and that after the collision Vessel 1 was behind him approximately 100 yards. Operator 2's passenger, who was seated on the port side, received a minor puncture wound to his left upper arm.  He was treated at the scene and was not transported to the hospital.  The damage on Vessel 1 consisted of a large break and a piece of fiberglass missing on the bow port side, several gouges on the port and starboard side towards the bow, a large gouge on the bottom of the hull on the starboard side, the bow eye is bent to the port side, and a piece of metal missing on the anti-ventilation plate of the lower unit of the motor. Damage to Vessel 2 consisted of:  crushing blow to the bow and port side, two cuts on the port side near the bow, large dent and crack on the port side midship that had black paint transfer from Vessel 1's lower unit, dent in console, break of windshield and depth finder on console, several scratches along port side extending back to the stern, broken trolling motor mount that had fiberglass transfer stuck in it.  Based on statements and the damage on the vessels, I believe Vessel 1 struck Vessel 2 on the port side near the bow of Vessel 2.  The bow eye of Vessel 1 penetrated and stuck into Vessel 2 causing the port side to rise and starboard side to go into the water.  Vessel 1 then continued over the bow of Vessel 2.  The lower unit of Vessel 1 striking the port side of Vessel 2 causing the large dent and crack midship of Vessel 2 while the vessels were being pushed to the starboard due to the momentum of Vessel 1.  Vessel 1 then came to rest approximately 100 yards behind Vessel 2.  In my opinion Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 were on paths that cross, and Vessel 1 did not yield to Vessel 2 which had the right-of-way based on LA RS 34:851.4, which states (3) When vessels are on paths that cross, the vessel on the left will yield the right-of-way to vessel on the right.  Operator 2 stated that his navigational lights were working at the time of the incident and based on the fact that Operator 1 stated he saw a light prior to the collision, I believe Operator 2 had his navigational lights on.  In my opinion the contributing factors in this incident are:  1.  Rules of the Road, fail to yield right-of-way on paths that cross, 2.  Operator Inattention, 3.  Operator Inexperience.  Both vessels were equipped with the proper number of PFD's form the number of people on board.  Alcohol and/or drugs are not suspected in this incident.
