MARCO ISLAND - Three people died, one person was critically injured and officials were still searching for another person Saturday evening after a boating accident, a Coast Guard spokesman said. A 30-foot pleasure craft was involved in the accident about 5:20 p.m. off the west coast of Florida near Naples. Authorities don't know whether the boat flipped or collided with another boat, Coast Guard spokesman James Judge said. "Our main concern right now is to find this person hopefully alive and to get them any medical attention they need as soon as possible," Judge said. Helicopters and state and local law enforcement were assisting in the search for the missing boater. No other details were immediately available, and authorities did not release the names of the victims late Saturday.
