Causes of Jeffry Knight's arrest after fatal boat collision
The Coast Guard and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are conducting a thorough investigation of the tragic Clearwater Ferry crash that resulted in the arrest of Jeffry Knight, a 62-year-old businessman, three months after the incident. Knight now faces charges related to leaving the scene of a boating accident, and misdemeanor charges are expected to be filed by the Pinellas County State Attorney's Office. Knight was arrested and subsequently released on bail. The investigation unveiled details where Knight allegedly left the crash scene and expressed concern for himself rather than aiding the injured individuals, a stark contrast to his initial statements. The FWC expressed condolences to the family of Jose Castro, who lost his life in the accident, and other affected parties. The FWC will share updates on their investigation during a briefing scheduled for 3 p.m. on Tuesday.
