“At a press conference Sunday, Florida Fire and Wildlife Commission said drugs and alcohol were not found on the boat, but they will perform a full toxicology report. They believe speed was a likely factor in the crash. Two of the victims were found under the boat and one was under water. The other two victims weren’t athletes, rather personal friends of Fernandez. They weren’t identified publicly. None of them were wearing life jackets.”
Although drugs and alcohol were not found on the boat, that isn’t definitive yet. Lots of people get hammered at dock bars all night and then go out for a joy ride. We’ll see if that’s the case or not, but its a very common scenario.
Being out at night is tricky business in any event.
