Phil Driver, 30, drove the 31-foot Cape Horn boat aground about 2:30 a.m. on Rabbit Island, Alabama Marine Patrol Officer Mark Parden said. The 26-acre island sits just off the eastern tip of Ono Island, Ala.
Nancy Driver, 66, who lived off Innerarity Point Road in southwest Escambia County, and her daughter, Kathryn Liscoe, 44, of Pensacola were pronounced dead at the scene.
Phil Driver was taken to Baptist Hospital in Pensacola with a broken arm. He had not been charged as of Monday, but Parden said the case likely would go before a grand jury in Baldwin County, Ala.
"The first officer on the scene had contact with Mr. Driver before he was transported," Parden said. "Based on the officer's experience, Mr. Driver was under the influence of alcohol."
