RedactedNarrative: Subjects were travelling westbound in the ICW between Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. The operator stated that he saw a dark shadow and realized that it was a barge. He turned to the starboard to avoid the barge and ran into the north bank. They gathered themselves back together and made their way to Lulu's Restaurant and notified first responders. 
  
  Operator advised that the group started their day at approximately 2PM. They left a location on Fish River in Baldwin county and made their way to a restaurant / bar called Pirates Cove located on Bay La Launch. After spending some time there consuming alcohol, they made their way to a condominium called Needle Rush Point in Ole River. They dropped off some individuals and started to make their way back to Fish River. Darkness set in as they made their way back. While they were travelling the ICW westbound just east of Saunders Yachtworks, they came up on the pushboat OVIDE J, owned by Enterprise Products Partners. The OVIDE J was moored to the north side of the ICW facing eastbound. All five subjects onboard the 20ft seastrike said they were travelling approximately 30 MPH when they saw a dark object appear before them at the same time. Subject said she grabbed subject2, both sitting in front of the center console, and dove for the deck to the right. Operator advised that he turned hard to starboard to avoid collision and struck the north bank. Inspection of the area shows the indentation in the bank made by the bow, as well as paint transfer from the hull boot stripe in the mud for over 100ft. The crew on the OVIDE J advised that they didn't hear anything until the vessel was underway headed westbound. One of the 2" mooring lines was severed, presumably by the motor skeg. The vessel owner indicated that the steering ram on the motor was bent, possiby from being wrenched to the side by the mooring line. Subject advised she got behind the wheel and operated the vessel to Lulu's Homeport Restaurant where they made contact with employees and called emergency services. 
  
  Subject2 was transported to Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, FL due to head and neck lacerations, and possible head injuries. No other injuries were reported. 
  
  I spoke with Operator first, who advised that he was the vessel owner, under physician care for anxiety, taking prescription medication Wellbutrin and Lexapro. He also advised that subject3 was the operator. I administered HGN field sobriety test and moved on to the next occupants. Subject advised she did not know who was operating, two others both advised that Operator was operating. At that time I performed more field sobriety tests on Operator, and placed him under arrest for operating under the influence of alcohol. The medics were called back due to Operator having an anxiety attack. After it was deemed safe, Operator was transported to OBFD for holding and Drager testing. Operator refusd to submit to breath testing. The other three passengers were released to return to te Fish River location by cab. Sgt assisted subject5 with putting his vessel on its trailer. 
  
  I returned to the scene on 03/11/2014 for photographs. I also went to the Fish River location to get more photos of the vessel. After several attempts to locate Subject2 at Baptist Hospital, I was advised that she was released just after midnight on this date with staples in her head, and stitches in her neck from the lacerations. 
  
  The USCG response on scene advised that they went to the location of the crash and met with the crew of the OVIDE J. They advised that the running lights were on at that time.
