"No PFDs were in use at the time of the crash," said Maloy. "Preliminary investigation indicates alcohol may have been a factor in the crash."
Three other passengers were taken to local hospitals for treatment. Alabama State Troopers and ALEA's Marine Patrol Division continue to investigate the accident.
