The owners of a sailboat and barge that collided in Biscayne Bay near Miami Beach on Monday, killing two young girls and critically injuring two other girls, are working with commercial salvage to draft a plan to have both vessels removed, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

Preliminary information indicates a “barge struck a sailing vessel carrying six people” near Habicus Island, Florida officials said.

The victims were part of the Miami Youth Sailing Foundation, according to the Miami Yacht Club. We’re aiming to raise $6,000 by August 10, so we can deepen our reporting on the critical stories unfolding right now: grassroots protests, immigration, politics and more.

Two people were killed on July 28 after a barge struck a sailing boat carrying a youth club off Miami Beach, Florida, authorities said.

"We hold the other victims and their loved ones in our hearts, sharing in the profound sorrow this loss has brought to so many."
