   MOABI REGIONAL PARK, Calif. — Arizona authorities say they have   
   found the body of a woman who was among four people missing   
   after two boats crashed on the Colorado River. Christi Lewis,   
   51, was found Monday in a section of the river that borders   
   California and Arizona, Mohave County Sheriff's Office   
   spokeswoman Anita Mortensen said.   
      
   Lewis was a California resident, but her hometown hasn't been   
   determined, Mortensen said.   
      
   The search is continuing for the three other missing people. Ten   
   people were injured, with one in critical condition, authorities   
   said.   
      
   Authorities say a boat carrying 10 people and another vessel   
   with six people on board collided head-on Saturday night,   
   ejecting more than a dozen people. It occurred between two   
   popular marinas and near Moabi Regional Park, a well-traveled   
   recreation area crowded with people enjoying the Labor Day   
   weekend.   
      
   Both boats sank and passing boaters pulled people from the   
   water. None of the people in the two boats were wearing life   
   vests, Mortensen added.   
      
   Helicopters were deployed, and authorities scoured the shoreline   
   to try to find them. Divers were sent into the river's waters,   
   which can range from shallow to 30 feet deep.   
      
   "These efforts will continue until all of those who are missing   
   and unaccounted for have been located," Schuster told reporters   
   Sunday.   
      
   The cause of the crash is being investigated. None of the   
   boaters were wearing life jackets, which aren't required but are   
   recommended by authorities, Shuster said.

   On Saturday night, authorities had to temporarily halt the   
   search because it was too dangerous to put divers into the dark   
   waters. Efforts resumed after daybreak Sunday, and authorities   
   closed off the stretch of the river where the search was taking   
   place.   
      
   Some of those on the boats apparently were thrown into the water   
   by the force of the collision or jumped, and were swept down the   
   river.   
      
   "We had victims of this collision that were located 3 to 5 miles   
   downstream from the original point of impact," said Eric   
   Sherwin, spokesman for the San Bernardino County Fire District   
   in California, which was assisting in the search.
