Boat Crash in Miami ????
Had you guys heard anything about this? Usually I do, surprised I hadn't.
Happened Monday....
HOLLYWOOD — Arriving in early morning darkness along the Intracoastal Waterway, medics were greeted with an eerie sight Monday: a seemingly empty powerboat cruising in circles.
"When they first saw it, they were like, 'How is this happening?' " Fire Rescue Division Chief Mark Steele recalled.
Then the crew spotted a man, still breathing, crammed into the smashed bow of the stricken vessel. They were able to corral the boat and extract him, but he would soon die — a likely victim, officials said, of speeding.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Aldo Antonio Rodriguez, 41, and passenger Odalys Diaz, 45, both Miami-Dade County, were traveling south on the Intracoastal at about 1:20 a.m.

The accident occurred at about 1:40 a.m. along South Ocean Drive near Hallandale Beach. When Hollywood Fire Rescue arrived, the woman had been ejected from the boat upon impact. The second victim, male, was trapped inside the boat.

WOW! I am kind of confused. One man found smashed in bow, one inside and a lady overboad? So total of three people? Maybe one of those fishing rigs with a cabin and there was a guy sleeping down there?
