Weird looking crash pic. Did it roll, flip over or what? Almost looks like it was hit on the port side by another boat.

No other boats were involved in the crash.

"It appears that the boat lost control while underway, eventually turning abruptly sideways and ejecting the occupants," the sheriff's office said.
