Legal action filed by injured Clearwater Ferry rider against Jeff Knight
A Clearwater Ferry passenger has taken legal action against a Pinellas County man for injuries sustained when his powerboat collided with the ferry. The passenger, Nicole Makelele, alleges that the man, Jeff Knight, was negligent and reckless in operating the boat, resulting in the crash. Makelele, a long-time Pinellas County teacher, suffered serious injuries in the incident and is seeking over $50,000 in damages.
