A 24-year-old woman from North Carolina died after a boat collided with a sailboat on Friday night in the Florida Keys.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Sydney Cole was in the 21-foot Century Bay boat that struck an anchored sailboat.
The impact’s force ejected Cole, of Fuquay Varina, and the three others in Buttonwood Sound.
The U.S. Coast Guard rescued the three including a woman from Oakland Park who was injured.
The search for Cole also involved the FWC, the National Park Service, and Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies.

The two in the sailboat from Yorktown, Virginia, were not injured.
