According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), the vessel involved was carrying seven passengers.

Six of the passengers were taken to a local medical facility for evaluation. FWC is working with the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office to investigate what caused the incident.
