It is unknown at this time if alcohol was involved, but it seems that this was a second accident, as the boat pilot seemed to be trying to rescue someone else on the boat when the boat hit struck something else, possibly a marker.

Other sources state that rescue was waiting at the dock for the injured passenger when the boat came in too fast and struck the seawall in the harbor.

Be safe out there, everyone.
