Although the identity of the victim has not yet been released, details are emerging in Sunday night’s fatal hit-and-run boat crash in Clearwater Bay, when a 37-foot pleasure boat with six persons aboard struck the 40-foot Clearwater Ferry, which transports passengers to and from the mainland and the beaches.
The multi-agency investigation into the incident is ongoing. Monday afternoon, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission captain Matthew Dallarosa said the victim was one of 45 persons aboard the ferry. At least 10 were injured in what Clearwater Emergency Medical System chief Tony Tedesco called a “Level One Mass Casualty.”
