CEO Killed and Teen Son Injured in Hit-and-Run Boat Crash

Instagram/ @davide_bstc A Florida CEO has been killed and his teenage son injured in a hit-and-run boat crash after a larger vessel struck their dinghy south of Miami on Wednesday evening. Davide Veglia, 55, founder and president of ABTS Convention Services, was killed after an estimated 30-foot multi-motor vessel plowed into his 7-foot dinghy in Biscayne Bay at about 8:11 p.m., throwing him and his son into the water, the New York Post reported . His 14-year-old son was hospitalized with a broken arm. “The vessel involved has not yet been identified and is described as possibly a 20 to 30 foot boat with possibly two outboard motors and is described as possibly a dark blue boat with black bottom paint,” Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Officer George Reynaud said Thursday. Two teens nearby reported hearing cries for help. Enzo Avelino told WSVN : “I yelled for him to float before the cops came, and he floated. He was, like, floating there with his dad, holding him.” Veglia and his son were pulled from the water and taken to a hospital, where the 55-year-old was pronounced dead. Police said no arrests had been made. Read it at New York Post Read more at The Daily Beast.
