A tragic accident that occurred on the water close to Key Biscayne, which resulted in the death of a 15-year-old girl, as officials continue their search for the boat driver guilty for the incident.
The victim of the accident that occurred on Saturday afternoon close to Nixon Beach was identified as Ella Adler by her loved ones on Sunday. It has been reported by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission that Ella was participating in waterskiing when she was struck and died.
At the time of the accident, Ella Adler was on a family boat celebrating the birthday of a friend. On Sunday, the hunt for the boater who never stopped could be said to have continued.
“It is going to be a white to light blue [vessel] in color, with blue or dark blue bottom paint, as well as two wide board engines, but it could be up to four wide board engines based on different witness reports,” said Reynaud. A vessel with a color ranging from white to light blue is expected to be the vessel.
The members of Ella’s family characterized her as being graceful and caring. Not only was she a committed student at Ransom Everglades School, but she was also a ballerina with the Miami City Ballet. She was proud to be Jewish.
The authorities have stated that there is a total reward of up to $20,000 for information regarding the boater and vessel that were involved in the collision. Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers is contributing $5,000 to the reward process.
