Default Boating Accident Biscayne Bay

Does anyone have any more info on this. Google searched and couldn't find anything. Channel Seven news reported this morning about an accident yesterday on Biscayne Bay, looked like a 30ft Skater with outboards. There was only one person on board that was rescued by a good samaritan and was taken to the hospital but no word on condition. According to a witness the "Cigarette boat" blew over backwards and flipped in the air. Hope they have a speedy recovery.

Cannot confirm exact size but someone from down there said it was 360. Could have been 32? After watching it again definitely looks like 32

Prayers for the driver....the eye-witness made it sound like a blow over. The rear defiantly took a hard hit, from the looks of that tie bar.

I hope everyone is ok as well. If that is Yves of Avatar Skater and Razz Fountain he has years, more likely decades of experience. Met him at TNT years ago.

Almost looks like the tie bar caught something in the water at a high rate of speed.
