Passengers of Clearwater Ferry dispute attorney's claims post-accident
Lawyers representing passengers on the Clearwater Ferry during a tragic boat crash are disputing claims made by Jeffry Knight's lawyer, who operated the recreational boat involved in the incident. The crash, which occurred near the Memorial Causeway Bridge on April 27, resulted in the death of Jose Castro and injuries to ten others. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reported that 40 people were on the ferry and six on Knight's boat during the crash. While Knight cooperated with authorities and passed a breathalyzer test, further investigations are ongoing, and no charges have been filed yet. Another law firm representing victims asserts that Knight's account of the events does not align with what occurred that night. They challenge Knight's claims about leaving the scene, being distracted by dolphins, and the ferry's navigational lights not being visible. The investigation continues, with authorities urging anyone with video footage from the area on the night of the crash to provide it to aid in the inquiry.
