OSKALOOSA, IOWA (AP) -- Two boats have collided on the Des Moines River near Oskaloosa.
     
Fire Capt. Tim Nance told the Oskaloosa Herald that it appeared Saturday evening's crash was caused by miscommunication between the boat operators.
     
Nance says two boats - one a speedboat - collided, dumping eight people into the water. Some were picked up by others boaters, while the rest swam to shore.
     
No injuries were reported.
