Two airboats collided in the Florida Everglades, injuring members of a Bay Area youth football and cheer team and their parents. The team was in Florida for a national championship.
Members of a Bay Area youth football and cheer team and their parents were among those injured last week when two airboats collided during a tour of the Florida Everglades, according to media reports and officials. The 8 years old-and-under team was in the Sunshine State for the American Youth Football & Cheer National Championships, Pittsburg-based MEGA Football and Cheer said. However, a couple of our cherished parents face a road to recovery, the post stated.
We're grateful for the strength and resilience of our MEGA community during this challenging time. The crash happened about 3:15 p.m. Friday afternoon in Ochopee. Arielle Callender, a spokesperson for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said in a statement that a 24-foot Alumitech airboat with 13 passengers and one operator crashed head-on into a similar 25-foot airboat with 20 passengers and one operator. The agency is investigating the crash. Wooten's Everglades Airboat Tours regrets that a collision involving two airboats occurred this afternoon, the company said in a statement on Saturday. All of us at Wooten's offer our sincere sympathies to everyone involved, and wish them a speedy recovery
