Cozumel, Q.R. — Port Authorities are investigating a water collision between a boat and catamaran that happened off the island of Cozumel. The two vessels collided in the southern area Friday, leaving the smaller boat heavily damaged.

The two boat crash happened around noon between two tourists vessels. Both boats were carrying passengers at the time of the accident. The boats hit one another while crossing paths.
