Overview
- FWC said late Monday it located the suspected hit-and-run boat from the March 25 crash that killed Davide Veglia near Indian Creek, though who was driving remains unclear.
- In a separate case, a 27-foot boat in Biscayne Bay near West Point on Saturday morning ejected its two occupants, then circled without an operator and struck them.
- Investigators identified the injured operator as 54-year-old Neil Schwab of Coconut Grove and the passenger who died as 33-year-old Claudia Balmaseda Orellanes of Coral Gables.
- Video taken after the Saturday crash shows the empty vessel spinning in tight circles until a law enforcement boat moved in and stopped it.
- First responders recovered both victims and moved the man for an airlift to Ryder Trauma Center, as officials urged boaters to wear life jackets, file a float plan, and monitor VHF channel 16 on busy weekends.
