MIAMI (AP) — Three boats collided near a Miami marina around the end of a fireworks display, killing four and injuring a dozen others in a chaotic scene that left bodies and survivors tossed overboard.
Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the crash Friday night near the Dinner Key Marina in Miami, with officers plucking several people out of the water. The boaters are believed to have been out celebrating the Fourth of July holiday.
Rescuers were alerted by one of the boaters at about 10:45 p.m. He said he’d been hit by another vessel and that his 36-foot pleasure craft was taking on water, authorities said.
“We kept getting report after report of more people in the water,” Miami Fire Rescue Lt. Ignatius Carroll said.
