According to Benitez, the boat drifted and crashed under the Rickenbacker Causeway.

The boat was pulled from the area by a towboat while the MDFR fireboat remained at the scene to make sure all the passengers were safe.

No injuries were reported.

It's unclear how much damage the boat sustained in the crash.
