A devastating boating accident in Biscayne Bay on Monday claimed the lives of two girls and left several others critically injured after a large barge collided with a summer camp sailboat carrying five children and a camp counselor.
Rabbi Zalman Lipsker, of The Shul of Bal Harbour, confirmed that a young Jewish girl, Arielle Itke bas Rivka Aliza, was among the injured. She remains in critical condition.
The U.S. Coast Guard reported that the tragic collision occurred around 11:15 a.m. near Hibiscus Island, when a massive barge crashed into the small sailboat, sending all six occupants—five children and a 19-year-old counselor—into the water. The sailboat, part of a sailing camp operated out of the Miami Yacht Club on Watson Island, was struck with such force that the barge reportedly rode up over the smaller vessel.
