RedactedNarrative: On 6/6/15 at approximately 9:30 a.m. operator was launching his 12 foot flat boat at the Grand River Landing in Iberville Parish. The current at the Grand River landing is very strong due to the large amount of rainfall from previous weeks. After pushing off from the landing, Operator could not start the outboard on his vessel. The strong current pushed Operator and his vessel up against a walk way that connects the parking area to the floating dock at the landing. As Operator tried to free his vessel from the walkway his boat began to slide under the walkway. At that moment two men arrived at the landing and saw Operator in trouble. They attempted to pull Operator' vessel out from under the walkway. As they were pulling Operator' bow rope, Operator shifted his weight in his small boat to the starboard side. Putting too much weight on the starboard side caused Operator' vessel to take on water and capsize. The two men tied Operator' overturned boat to the dock and pulled Operator out of the water. Operator stated he was exhausted after the men pulled him out of the water. He was very weak and felt like he was going to pass out. The two stated Operator did pass out and began to have what they believed was seizures. EMS was called and eventually Operator was transported to Our Lady of Lake in Baton Rouge by helicopter. Operator was not wearing a PFD at the time of the incident. He was treated at the hospital for low blood pressure and released at approximately 2:30 p.m. There is no damage to Operator' vessel.
