RedactedNarrative: Vessel was traveling down river on the Idaho side of the Snake River. There were three passengers riding on the bow. The vessel was very close to the shoreline. The operator turned around to talk to a passenger behind him and let go of the stick to steer the vessel. 
  
  The vessel veered to the right, striking several rocks on the bottom of the vessel. The operator attempted to steer out of the shoreline last minute, turning to the left, causing the starboard stern to kick out and strike a large rock. When the vessel struck the rock, the it caused the bow to turn rapidly to the right, ejecting the three on the bow. 
  
  All three landed on the rocks on the shoreline. The vessel continued moving and re-entered the water. 
  
  The three individuals on the bow were Life Flighted to St. Joas Hospital. Alcohol was involved.
