PALM VALLEY, Fla. -- Five people were killed and seven others transported to area hospitals after a boat hit a tugboat in the Intracoastal Waterway in St. Johns County early Sunday evening.

According to St. Johns County Fire-Rescue spokesman Jeremy Robshaw, a 22-foot boat with 12 people on board hit a 25-foot tub boat in the Intracoastal Waterway near the 200 block of Roscoe Boulevard -- about one mile north of the Palm Valley Bridge -- just after 7 p.m.

All those injured were transported to Jacksonville-area hospitals -- the three most seriously injured transported by air ambulance.

I saw on report and they said it was a 22' Crownline. I had one and I can't picture ever fitting 12-14 people on board.The most I have ever had on mine was 8 and four of them were kids. RIP.

How terribly sad. May they RIP, and recover.

The article says it happened at 7:00pm, which is essentially daylight. How in the world?...

Sundown wasn't until almost 8pm and it was a clear day. Sad. Apparently it was a bunch (too many) of young people on board.

Condolences to friends and families.
