MIAMI (CBS4) – A day on the water turned

deadly when investigators say a woman was

crushed between a boat and the MacArthur

Causeway.

Investigators identified the woman as Janette

Africano, 35, of Hialeah.

“We don’t know why the boat stopped

underneath the MacArthur Causeway but we do

have some info the female that was on board

the vessel was trying to push off from the bridge

and at some point she became stuck between the bridge and the

vessel,” said Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission

spokesman Jorge Pino.

A family friend said the woman was boating with her husband.

“He did everything he could but unfortunately it just didn’t work out,”

said Pino.

The Coast Guard escorted the boat to Watson Island where

paramedics tried to revive Africano.

“They went to little boat get a lady then give her CPR, spend like 45

minutes giving her CPR, she never moved,” said Jean Cadet who saw

the rescue efforts.

An ambulance took Africano to Jackson Memorial Hospital where she

was pronounced dead.

Now investigators are working to determine how this accident

happened. Pino said investigators will determine whether alcohol was

involved, but he said nothing indicated that it played a role.

“I’ve seen many accidents here in my career with the FWC, but this is

certainly something unusual,” said Pino, adding, “We want to get to

the bottom of it and find out and learn from this accident maybe this

will never have to happen again.”
