RedactedNarrative: On February 12, 2022, I, Cpl., was notified by LDWF Lt. of a boat accident that occurred near Solan’s Camp on Toledo Lake.  I contacted Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office for further details.  They gave me the phone number of a subject involved in the incident.  I contacted the subject who advised me that he and another subject were in the water and that their boat had sank.  
  
  He stated that if we didn’t hurry, that they were going to freeze to death.  Agent and I responded and launched our vessel from Solan’s landing.  We located the two subjects.  Occupant was standing on an island and Operator was sitting on a pedestal seat on the bow of the boat.  We were able to board them in our vessel and return them to Solan’s landing.  Once there, Operator was taken by ambulance to Desoto Medical Center for treatment.  He had elevated blood pressure, hypothermia (77*), and was complaining of back pain.  Occupant was checked by EMT’s and was released.      
  
        Operator was operating LA-6353-GC (vessel 1), a 20’ Xpress with remote steering, powered by a 115 HP Yamaha motor.  They were on Toledo Lake in Sabine Parish.  His passenger, Occupant, was seated to his left.  Both were wearing PFD’s.  Alcohol use is not suspected.  Operator was wearing his cut off lanyard.  Due to high wind and waves, the vessel took on water and flooded. The boat listed to the starboard side, causing Operator to be ejected.  
  
  While the vessel was flooded, Operator was able to re-board and operate it to the closest shoreline where Occupant was able to call for help.  Operator was able to stand up in shallow water and turn the vessel perpendicular to the waves.  Occupant exited the boat and walked to an adjacent island.  Operator stayed with the vessel until we arrived.
