A barge appears to have struck a sailing boat carrying six people, including five children and a woman, who were pulled from the water by responders Monday off of Miami Beach, Florida, authorities said.
The collision happened near Star Island in Biscayne Bay, and all the victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment, said Arielle Callender, a regional spokesperson for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, in a statement.
The agency is investigating the crash, and has not disclosed details about those injured.
Local television stations showed first responders, some in scuba diving gear, in boats around what appears to be a barge.
