Two
people are dead and one survived a boating accident off Hollywood Tuesday
afternoon.
Authorities said they got a call at 2 p.m. about a vessel in
distress.
When rescue crews arrived, they found one person floating in
the water. Florida Wildlife officials helped search for others. Divers later
looked in the vessel for any remaining people on board.
Mindy Borkson could see from shore the struggle to find survivors
in the water.
“I saw, so sad, a capsized boat and the helicopters, and they’re
going and it looks like there was rangers there and Border Patrol,” said
Borkson.
The
vessel was overturned but what caused it to happen is under investigation.
Borkson said the water has been choppy.
“It’s been like this. This is not unusual for Florida boating.
It’s not something that just came up. It’s been like this,” said Borkson. “It
had to be something really strange because generally people going boating, they
know how to boat.”
Chopper4 was over the scene where you could see a fully submerged
boat.
The FWC says it will be responsible for recovering the
vessel. Source:
