At least Two men have died and ten people have been injured on Friday night when two boats collided in the village Key Biscayne (Key Biscayne), located in the city of Miami, Florida. Of the two boats that have collided in the bay, one of them had five people on board, while the second had seven people, the authorities have reported, according to the local media ‘7news Miami’.
After the collision, one of the ships has begun to sink. Lifeguards and the United States Coast Guard, in their rescue efforts, have transferred the injured, including two children, to health centers.
“There were 11 patients that we needed to treat and evaluate. Ten of those patients were transferred to area hospitals, two of them in critical condition: a minor and an adult,” explained Miami City Fire Department Lieutenant Pete Sánchez, as reported by the media cited above.
Likewise, the Coast Guard has recovered from the water – after two hours of searching – the body of a 60-year-old man who disappeared, to be later transferred to a health center.
