RedactedNarrative: On February 16, 2016 at approximately 11:45AM, Operator1 was operating a Class 1 Vessel (LA 5343 FH) on Turkey Creek in Franklin Parish. The Vessel is controlled by a stick steering system and powered by a Yamaha 50 horsepower outboard motor. At this time, Operator1 was traveling southbound approaching Tom King Landing. Operator1 said that he was wearing his PFD and had his kill switch properly attached. 
   
  Operator1 said that he was operating the vessel at 3/4 power when he struck a submerged log with his lower unit. He said the impact caused him to be thrown out of his seat and slammed into the bottom of the vessel. The vessel's motor did not shut down after the impact. As a result, the vessel turned left, ran aground, and struck a tree on land. The impact caused severe damage to the port side bow of the vessel, there was no damage to the outboard motor.
