Sodus Boat Crash: Teen Charged as Passengers Thrown From Boat in Crash, A Sodus Bay boat crash has led to a teenager being arrested and charged with boating while intoxicated.

The teen, Tyler Ocwieja, rashed his boat into the breakwall at Sodus Bay following yesterday's Fourth of July fireworks display in the area.

Reports have stated that one of the passengers suffered a bad ankle injury and had to be rushed to the hospital, where as the other two suffered more minor injuries.

The teenage driver was charged by authorities for driving at more than 5 miles per hour within 100 feet of the shore, which is against boating regulations in the area.
