MIAMI — A man died early Sunday morning and cruise ship arrivals were disrupted after a 30-foot boat collided with a ferry near Miami, authorities said.
Another man was hospitalized in serious condition after the ship hit the Fisher Island ferry around 3:40 a.m. local time.
Ferry workers pulled the man out of the water and he told them about his missing friend before he was taken to a hospital, the The New Herald informed.
The missing man was later found dead.
The accident occurred near Dodge Island, which has a row of cruise terminals.
Three cruise lines had to change unloading procedures after the US Coast Guard established a temporary buffer zone limiting traffic in and out of PortMiami while the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission investigates the accident, the newspaper reported.
