Legal action taken against Jeffry Knight after fatal Clearwater Ferry accident
A Pinellas County school teacher who was aboard the Clearwater Ferry during a fatal crash is suing the boat operator, Jeffry Knight, for over $50,000. The teacher, Nicole Makelelele, claims she suffered various injuries and losses due to the accident. Knight has not faced criminal charges yet. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is still investigating the incident, which resulted in the death of a father from Palm Harbor. Knight's attorney argues that his actions were in compliance with the law, while the victims' attorneys dispute these claims. The victims are seeking closure and healing for their families in the aftermath of the crash. The investigation is ongoing, with the FWC asking for any video footage of the area during the time of the crash.
