Monroe County deputies say alcohol may have been a factor when a boat crashed into a rocky, unlighted pier on Lake Ontario near Sandy Creek Monday evening.
The Hamlin Fire Department says three people suffered minor injuries and were checked out at area hospitals after the accident.
The boat crashed in the Sandy Creek channel about 9:30 p.m. and began taking on water. The passengers climbed onto the rocks and were rescued by firefighters and another boater who saw the accident.
