Video shows moment boat crashes into Florida ferry, killing 1 person and injuring 10 others
A video released by the police shows the moment An entertainment boat crashed into the back of the phrase In Clerawar, Florida, killing one person and wounding 10 others.
The authorities said that the accident occurred at approximately 8:40 pm on Sunday, when the 40 -foot commercial ferry returned from the Clairawatir Beach. He was carrying 45 passengers and crew.
Police chief Eric Gandhi said at a press conference on Monday evening that he believed the boat “exceeded nearly three quarters of the ferry.”
“There was definitely a point where these two boats were fully intertwined,” said Florida’s wildlife and wildlife committee, and the phrase suffered from great damage. FWC said the entertainment boat was 37 feet and had about six people on the plane.
Before the first respondents arrived at the scene of the accident, they knew that they were dealing with a “big situation” because 911 operators described hearing “the terrible screaming in the background,” as people called for help, as Gandhi said.
In the Mayday call, the person who has a collision can be heard.
The person said: “My Day, My Day, My Day. There was a collision on the boats. Clairawar’s phrase below the Clairawar Memorial Bridge. Clearwar’s crossing is scattered.”
The man who was killed by the authorities in the name of Jose Castro, 41, was identified from Palm Harbor.
Gandhi said the injured victims were transferred to hospitals in Clearwar, St. Petersburg and Tamba.
“Our thoughts go out to the families of those who were on board the phrase, especially the children and the family of the man who died,” he said, adding that the crew members “may save lives.”
The president said that the boat that struck the ferry was not staying at the scene, but was later found by Sharif representatives, about three miles south by the Bill Bridge. The driver, known as the 63 -year -old Jeff Knight, was still on the boat.
The authorities said that Knight was cooperating with the investigation and voluntarily to test the alcohol, which did not discover any alcohol.
