RedactedNarrative: On May 19, 2017 operator was operating his vessel (LA9762BJ, 16’ Cajun) on the Amite River in East Baton Rouge parish with 2 passengers. They started out at approximately 8:0am. Occupant1 wore her PFD throughout the trip while Operator and Occupant2 did not, but had access to PFD’s in the boat. 
  
  Operator stated that while traveling upriver he struck several submerged logs before turning around to travel back downriver. At approximately 10:00am Operator’s vessel started taking on water in the bow of the boat, when he noticed Operator came off the throttle causing the bow to take on more water when forward momentum was lost. The bow continued to sink raising the stern in the air. Operator, Occupant1, and occupant2 were able to get out of the boat as it flipped over backwards, capsizing. Operator and occupant2 were able to swim to the bank of the river and Occupant1 was picked up by a passing vessel. No injuries resulted from the incident, alcohol and /or drugs were not a contributing factor in this incident, and no citations were issued.
