Sailboat Sinks Biscayne Bay Miami Beach Six Hospitalized

Multiple agencies responded to a boating accident near Hibiscus Island and Star Island in Miami Beach where a sailboat was struck by a barge and subsequently sank. Six people, including one adult female and five juveniles aged between eight and twelve, were rescued from the water and transported to local hospitals; three children are in critical condition while one is stable. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is leading the investigation into the incident, and all victims have been accounted for following swift rescue efforts. Separately, in Marina Del Rey, a yacht deliberately crashed into a seawall due to mechanical failure, a decision praised by local authorities as it prevented further damage or injury. Additionally, a boat crash into a pier at Amityville Beach resulted in multiple injuries, though details remain limited as the story develops.
