Two victims were transported to local hospitals while a third victim was treated at the scene and released.
The deceased person was taken to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital, where he succumbed to their injuries, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Joseph Owens, a witness, saw the scene unfold.
“Two kids on boogieboards and they were younger. One of them made it, one of them didn’t,” he said.
