According to the reporting party, City of Miami Police, the victim was a passenger on a 21’ vessel.

As a result of the accident, the victim was trapped under the vessel for approximately 10 minutes and was admitted to the hospital as a near drowning patient. 
  
  Operator had very little experience as a boat operator at the time of the accident. In addition, the vessel is designed with a low bow.  Furthermore, the vessel was overloaded and unbalanced due to the configuration of the seats, which were primarily located on the port side. When the operator suddenly reduced speed in order to enter the waterway, the bow dropped and took on water causing the vessel to capsize. The victim was transported to North Shore Medical Center for treatment by City of Miami Fire Rescue.
