RedactedNarrative: On January 1, 2015 at approximately 2:30 p.m. two people were operating a vessel in East Fork in Iberville Parish. Operator2 was traveling south in his skiff powered by a surface drive Go Devil. Operator1 and his passenger were traveling north in his skiff powered by a surface drive Go Devil. As both vessels traveled in the same curve in East Fork Canal, Operator1 and Operator2 collided with each other. Both operators stated they were traveling in the middle of the canal. As Operator1 steered his vessel to port to maneuver around some fallen debris in the canal, Operator2 did not see the oncoming vessel and collided with Operator1. The bow of Operator2's vessel ramped over Operator1's vessel causing Operator1 to sustain a 3 inch laceration to his head above his left ear. Operator1 was momentarily knocked unconscious during the crash but regained consciousness shortly afterward. Also as a result of the collision Operator1 sustained some bruising to his chest and left shoulder. Operator2 was unharmed during the collision. Operator2 was able to call 911 and transported Operator1 to the Ramah landing where they met with Acadian Ambulance. Operator1 was taken to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge and treated for his injuries. Both operators stated they were wearing PFD's and kill lanyards at the time of the incident. No alcohol or drug use is suspected in the incident.
