"No injuries were reported, and there is no word on what caused the boat to run aground."

Shallow water.

Nobody writes a feature article on most freeway crack-ups, ambulance runs, or brush fires, either. Though they show up in the police and fire department logs. If you want to know more, get the files, and call up the principals. But unless you have a really good opening line, I'd imagine that they'd just hang up.
