Two crew members injured in accident off Sabine
An accident occurred on board of the "United Ambassador" in the afternoon of Dec 21, 2016. The vessel was moored on Port Arthur Anchorage, about 20 miles off the Texas Point Wildlife Refuge, when two crew were injured by a pressurized part. The crew of the tanker contacted the Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit Port Arthur, who alerted Sector Houston-Galveston watchstanders at 2:35 p.m., reporting a 24-year-old man was struck in the head by the pressurized part causing bleeding and unconsciousness and a 42-year-old man's nose was broken. At approximately 2:45 p.m., watchstanders diverted an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Air Station Houston and launched a 45-foot response boat from Station Sabine. Once on scene, the helicopter and boat crews assessed the situation and decided to transfer the man with the head injury to the helicopter and the man with the broken nose was transferred to the response boat. Both men were taken to The Medical Center of Southeast Texas. The 42-year-old is in stable condition. Due to severity of his injuries The 24-year-old was transferred to Christus Southeast Texas St. Elizabeth Hospital and was reportedly breathing but unconscious.
