MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) -- No one was injured after two boats lost control near Marathon Island.

The vessels partially sunk east of Star Island, just off the MacArthur Causeway, Thursday.

The impact of the crash caused one of the boats to flip over, while the other began to take on water.

Three women and a male who were on board the vessels are now on a tow boat. They are reported to be doing OK.

Crews are towed away both vessels, one of which may be unsalvageable.
