Aerial footage reveals how close ‘unconscious’ boat driver came to Florida swimmers

Aerial footage shows how close an “unconscious” boat driver came to Florida swimmers on Madeira Beach.

Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office shared the video on social media, confirming they responded to a call regarding a fishing vessel operator slumped over at the helm, heading towards a public swimming beach.

His passenger was also unconscious on the deck of the boat.

Footage shows the vessel entering a swimming area where lots of people were seen in the water before marine deputies arrived and made contact with the boat.

They found a conscious but “visibly disorientated and confused” driver.
