RedactedNarrative: On July 5, 2019 at approximately 4:00pm., Operator was operating Vessel 1 (LA 1029 GF) with four passengers on Toledo Bend Reservoir, in Sabine Parish.  He was traveling north in the boat lane marked with double green and red buoys, attempting to pass under the Pendleton Bridge. While approaching the bridge, Operator throttled down causing the bow of his vessel to rise.  He noticed his T-top was not going to clear the bridge.  He increased throttle to try to level his vessel back out. The T-top struck the bridge causing the T-top and console to be torn from the deck.  
  
  During the impact, the T-top and console pinned the operator and three passengers against the bench seat and threw the fourth passenger, who was sitting on the seat in front of the center console, into the air striking the bottom of the bridge and landing back on top of the center console. 
  
  Operator's wife suffered minor injuries such as cuts, bruises, and abrasions during the accident.  Operator's son suffered minor injuries such as cuts, bruises, abrasions, and broken teeth during the accident.  Med Express ambulance service arrived on scene and transported them to Sabine Medical Center in Many, Louisiana where they received medical treatment for their injuries.  The operator was not wearing a PFD.  The four passengers were wearing type III PFDs.  During the initial investigation, agents found alcohol and drugs not to be a factor in the accident.
