STOCKTON (CBS SF/BCN) -- Authorities found the body of a woman Saturday evening who was reported missing after a boating accident the day before in a Stockton shipping channel.

San Joaquin County's Boating Safety Unit said they received a report of a boating accident shortly after 5:30 p.m. Friday near Mandeville Island, located 15 miles northwest of Stockton.

According to the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, the woman and a man were traveling in a boat at a fast speed when a large wake caused the vessel to flip in the air.
