MIAMI -- Two tourists, including an Atlanta woman, were killed Monday after they were thrown from a jet-ski after it struck a concrete bridge support.
According to 11Alive's NBC affiliate in Miami, the passengers were on the personal watercraft near Star Island when they struck the bridge archway that connects the island with the mainland's highway. Both victims were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, but died.
