According to Seminole County Fire Rescue, five people were aboard the boat when it crashed into the drawbridge. Rescue workers quickly arrived and transported three people to the hospital. At least one of the victims was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center as a trauma alert. None of the victims were identified and there is no update on their conditions at this time.

Florida is home to many bodies of water and has a warm climate year-round. This makes our state very attractive for boaters and those who enjoy being on the water. Although boats are typically associated with enjoyment, a tragedy can occur in a matter of moments. Boating crashes are quite common and often result in severe and even fatal injuries. Each boating crash will be carefully investigated in order to determine the cause.
