Authorities investigated an overnight boat crash in Bay Harbor Islands.

BAY HARBOR ISLANDS, Fla. — Three people were hospitalized after two boats collided in Biscayne Bay off Bay Harbor Islands in Miami-Dade County early Saturday, police confirmed to Local 10 News.

Bay Harbor police officers at the scene told Local 10’s Linnie Supall that three people were aboard one of the boats involved in the crash. They said all three individuals were taken to a hospital with injuries. Authorities did not immediately release information about the severity of those injuries.

Authorities said crash happened near West Broadview Drive and 103rd Street.

One of the boats remained partially submerged in the bay Saturday morning, with only its overhead canopy frame clearly visible above the water.

Police used a cable attached to the front of a patrol vehicle to stabilize the vessel and keep it from sinking further while crews worked at the scene.

Police said a second boat involved in the crash ended up at nearby Haulover Marina. Authorities have not said how many people were aboard that boat or whether anyone on board was injured.

Authorities said the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is the lead agency investigating the case, and FWC officials also responded. No other details about the incident were immediately released.
