RedactedNarrative: At noon on 6/7/21,V1 traveled south on Bayou Little Caillou. The vessel was occupied by OPERATOR 1 and two passengers. V1 collided with a 120 ft. steel barge docked on the shore of Bayou Little Caillou at 12:04 PM (approx). Upon impacting the barge, two passengers were ejected from the vessel. Both passengers were pulled from the water by good samaritans. All three boaters were taken to Sharky's Marina and awaited EMS. EMS personnel from Little Caillou Fire Dept. and Acadian Ambulance treated injuries to the three boaters. Afterward, the three boaters were transported to University Medical Center New Orleans for advanced treatment by air and ground units.
             Cpl. was notified of the incident by Region 6 Dispatch. He arrived on-scene at 12:25 PM to investigate the collision. While EMS crews were treating injuries, and preparing the injured boaters for transport, Cpl. was unable to determine if impairment was a factor in the collision due to the injuries to the operator. Two officers travelled to LSU Medical Center to speak with the injured boaters. While visiting the injured boaters, they obtained a blood sample from the operator. 
             Cpl. inspected V1. The vessel was an 18-foot aluminum hull with a semi-V hull. It was powered by a 90 horsepower Yamaha outboard (gasoline) with remote steering. There is no evidence suggesting that the engine cut-off lanyard was used at the time of the collision. The vessel contained one Type IV and three Type III PFDs. The wearable PFDs were not worn by any of the boaters at the time of the collision. Ves2 was a 120-foot-long steel barge. The vessel was moored to a dock and unoccupied at the time of the collision.
