At 3:02 on the morning of Sept. 25, Miami Marlins star pitcher José Fernandez, 24, drove his 32-foot SeaVee at a high speed into a jetty at the north side of Government Cut. The impact killed him and his two companions, Eduardo Rivero, 25, and Emilio Macias, 27.
Now a 46-page accident report by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spells out the details of the tragedy: Fernandez was high on cocaine, legally drunk and was driving at a WOT of 65.7 mph.
“Fernandez operated the (vessel) with his normal faculties impaired, in a reckless manner, in the darkness of night, in an area with known navigational hazards such as the rock jetties and channel markers,” the report said. It added that “alcohol and drugs were a factor in this case.”
