RedactedNarrative: On July 4, 2020, at approximately 3:20pm, I received a phone call from Witness 1 from the Cane River Waterway Commission about a vessel accident on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches Parish. I made contact with the owner (Operator 2) of VESSEL TWO. He stated that he noticed people at his boat dock, he then learned that the people had collided into his unoccupied docked vessel damaging the ladder at the stern.  I was able to make contact with the operator and owner (Operator 1) of VESSEL ONE. I read Operator 1 his Miranda Warnings and  interviewed him about the accident.  He stated that he was pulling three people on a tube and turned around to retrieve a hat that fell into the water.  This maneuver caused the passengers on the tube to collide with the stern of vessel two.  He stated that he was traveling about 10 mph when the accident occurred.  The individual (Victim 1) was the only person on the tube that collided into the stern of vessel two.  Victim 1 was taken to Christus St. Frances Cabrini Hospital in Alexandria, LA by family for medical treatment.  It was determined by medical staff that she received two fractures to her pelvis and a fractured fibula.  Pfd's were used, it was also determined that drugs and alcohol were not a contributing factor.  After the completion of the investigation, Operator 1 was issued citation number D643918 for R.S. 34:851.4-Careless Operation for violated the rules of the road.
