RedactedNarrative: On October 22, 2019, at approximately 11:39 AM, I, S.A. was contacted by a resident near Bayou Desiard in Ouachita Parish. He advised me that a subject had struck a submerged object and the vessel was sinking. Upon arrival at Bayou Desiard, I observed operator standing on a stump in the middle of Bayou Desiard. His vessel was partially submerged and the motor had become dislodged from the vessel. He advised that he struck a submerged object while traveling northbound on Bayou Desiard that caused his motor be knocked off his boat. The vessel then began to take on water. He jumped to a stump and the vessel floated near the bank, where it became stationary. Alcohol and/or drugs are not expected to be a factor in the incident. He was wearing a type 3 PFD and also holding a type 1 PFD.
