The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is investigating a crash on False River involving a Lafayette boater.
According to WBRZ, a party barge hit a tube on the water carrying a group of children.
Investigators say the driver of the boat went home and refused to take a sobriety test.
The children on the tube ranged in age from 8 to 14. All are expected to survive, but one was airlifted to a Baton Rouge hospital.
So far, no charges have been filed.
