Emergency responders rushed 11 people to area hospitals Saturday afternoon following what authorities are calling a suspected boat explosion near Miami Beach.<\/p>

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews were dispatched to the scene after receiving reports of a “possible explosion” at 12:48 p.m. Eastern Time near Haulover Sandbar, a well-known recreational spot that draws many visitors. The U.S. Coast Guard and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission also responded to assist with the emergency.<\/p>

All 11 individuals aboard the vessel were transported to nearby medical facilities for treatment, though officials have not disclosed the extent of their injuries.<\/p>

The exact cause of the incident remains unclear as authorities continue their investigation. However, according to the Miami Herald, one person who was aboard the boat suggested a gas leak may have been responsible for the explosion.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
