25 People Injured in Margate Bus Accident When Hit by Fuel Truck

Riding a public bus is a decision that many people make for many reasons, but one of them is because passengers can leave the driving responsibilities to someone else.  While riding a public bus is generally a safe mode of travel, these vehicles are not immune to mistakes made by motorists.  Unfortunately, that initially appears to be what occurred yesterday when 25 people were injured after an empty fuel truck rear-ended a city bus in a Margate bus accident.  Police are continuing with their investigation of the incident.

According to the authorities, this Margate bus accident occurred yesterday just before 9 a.m. when an empty fuel tanker ran into the back of a Broward transit bus in the northbound lanes of State Route 7, just north of Margate Boulevard.  Police have yet to determine what exactly caused the crash, but at least 22 people were transported to a nearby hospital and at least one person was seriously injured.  Investigators initially believe that a lack of seat belts on the bus contributed to the injuries.

First and foremost, we’d like to offer our thoughts and hopes that the people who were injured in this Margate bus accident are able to recover from the injuries they have suffered quickly and fully, and we hope that a cause for the crash is determined soon.  This incident will also now become part of the statistics regarding Florida car accidents.  Every year, 200,000 people are injured and another 3,000 people are killed in these crashes.

Man Killed in Hillsboro Inlet Boating Accident

Florida is home to some of the world’s best fishing, and people come from everywhere to experience all that these tropical waters have to offer.  While the fishing industry remains enormous in size here, the unfortunate reality is that this also leads to a high number of Florida boating accidents.  Tragically, that’s what occurred yesterday afternoon when a Hillsboro Inlet boating accident took the life of one man while the other had to be rescued.

According to the authorities, this fatal Hillsboro Inlet boating accident occurred yesterday afternoon about a mile off of the Hillsboro Inlet.  Two men were fishing in an 18-foot Bayliner when a thunderstorm suddenly arose.  The storm led  to the boat flipping over, and another vessel came by to rescue the man who was still alive.  They pulled the other man out of the water and performed CPR, but he did not survive the accident.  Police indicated that the capsized boat had an insufficient anchor line, but the investigation is far from complete.

First and foremost, we’d like to offer our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the man who was killed.  Losing a life during a day of fishing is a cruel and tragic fate.  In addition, this Hillsboro Inlet boating accident will now become part of the overall statistics regarding Florida boating accidents.  Every year, almost 700 of these accidents occur, leading to almost 400 injuries and to almost 100 fatalities.

Clearly, much more information would be needed before any legal recommendations could be made.  For instance, the owner of the boat would need to be identified as well as the identity of the person who made a potential mistake with the anchor line or other details.  However, if the man who drowned was not responsible for this accident, it’s possible that his family could file a Florida wrongful death lawsuit against those that allegedly were.
