Two children were killed and two others were hospitalized in critical condition after a barge struck a sailboat off the coast of Miami, Fla. on Monday.
According to Coast Guard Sector Miami Commanding Officer Capt. Frank Florio III, the collision occurred near Hibiscus Island at around 11:27 a.m., when the barge hit a summer camp sailboat belonging to the Miami Yacht Club.
"Tragically, the incident resulted in the same day deaths of a seven-year-old and a 13-year-old. Two remain hospitalized in critical condition, and two other individuals were rescued," Florio said Tuesday.
Search and rescue operations concluded Monday, and next-of-kin notifications have been completed, according to officials.
