Heard there was five. One D.O.A. and another still missing. Not 100% sure who it is.. I've heard Marty/Mickey Cruz or Crews.

It hit the support beams of the bridge. That's rough. Thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends of all involved.

Article says hit a support beam, which would indicate the boat hit a horizontal member. Is water running high up there? I know warnings were sent out by another member a few days ago regarding the SR44 bridge being possibly an issue on the Withlacoochee due to high water. Since it was already dark when it happened, I wonder if he just didn't see the bridge or misjudged the clearance. What a shame. My deepest condolences for the losses.
