Multiple people were hurt in a boat accident in the Florida Keys on Saturday that prompted air rescues and dive teams to respond to the scene.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said they received reports of the accident at 10:26 a.m., off the Card Sound Bridge near Pumpkin Key.
The department said two of their helicopters had to rescue two people from the water and take them to a trauma center. Authorities described it as a "hoist operation with a stokes basket to rescue two patients for transport."
"Divers were deployed to the water to search for a third patient, which has been found," fire rescue said.
