RedactedNarrative: On Sunday July 17, 2016, operator was operating LA vessel 2610-GD on 12 Mile Bayou in Caddo parish. Operator1 was traveling north on the bayou at approximately 35-40 mph when he hit a submerged object with his vessel.  He was just past the North Market Bridge (Hwy 71) when his vessel struck the object.  Upon striking the object the vessel was completely lifted out of the water, and the motor was kicked out of the water.  Operator1 stated when the vessel came back into the water it was thrown off course and ran into a fallen down tree that was on the bank of 12 Mile Bayou.  Operator1 stated the vessel was completely out of the water lodged in the tree.  Operator1 stated he sustained no injuries in the collision.  He stated he was wearing a type 5 PFD and his kill switch at the time of the vessel incident.  Operator1 was the only occupant in the vessel.  No alcohol is suspected in the incident.  I believe the contributing factors in this incident are:  1.  Collision with a submerged object, 2.  No proper lookout, 3.  Excessive speed for the conditions.
