Boat crash took place on the Port of Miami, as a boat was going at top speed and wrecked into rocks as it approached the port. The result of the incident killed Marlins ace pitcher Jose Fernandez and two close friends.
Florida Wildlife Commission confirmed that Fernandez was killed from impact and not from drowning.
Fernandez, who was 24, was not driving the boat. The boat crashed into a jetty near Government Cut, a channel that allows boats direct access from Miami Beach.
There is no belief that alcohol nor drugs were involved during the night but no for sure answer will be given until the autopsies are completed.
The boat was traveling southbound when it struck the north end of the jetty, which appeared to be going at top speed. The boat suffered major damage on the bottom.
Debris was found and reported to the Coast Guard around 3am and the Coast Guard arrived around 4am to find the 3 bodies.
Guards said that no victims were wearing life vests, although it may not have aided the impact.
