RedactedNarrative: On September 7, 2020 at approximately 530 PM, Operator  was operating with one passenger. They were traveling west, southwest at approximately 32 mph when V1 collided with a rock levee in the Gulf of Mexico west of Southwest Pass (Vermilion Parish).  The vessel's lower unit collided with the rocks.  After impact, the motor was still operational but had minimum power.  Operator could only bring V1 to about 5 mph.  At 534 PM, the Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office (VPSO) was notified of the incident.  I, Corporal 1 maintained communication between Operator and VPSO.  V1 was towed into the intracoastal City Dock by recreational fishermen and arrived at approximately 7:00 P.M.  
  
  No one sustained any reportable injuries.  V1 has minor scrapes on bottom near the transom.  Most damage is on the foot of the lower unit.  The damage to the vessel is consistent with the operator's/passenger's statement of the incident.  Drugs or Alcohol are not suspected to be a factor in this incident.  PFD's were not used at the time of the incident but were present in the vessel.  Both subjects involved were interviewed.  
  
  The underwater rocks V1 grounded on a rock barrier surrounding an old pipeline.  The rocks once surrounded an island but most the land has eroded away leaving the rocks to extend from the coastline approximately 200-250 yards.  There is no longer any signs or markers identifying the rocks/pipeline.  The rocks are only visible above the water if the tide is low. Alcohol and drugs were not a factor. PFD's were not used.
