Broward man charged with BUI manslaughter in fatal Florida Keys boat crash

A Broward County man was charged with boating under the influence and manslaughter Wednesday following the conclusion of an investigation into a December fatal boat crash in the Florida Keys.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission investigators say 61-year-old Guy Erdman, from Oakland Park, slammed his 21-foot center console vessel into a sailboat that was anchored in Buttonwood Sound in Key Largo around 8 p.m. on Dec. 27.

The impact caused Erdman and his three passengers to be ejected from his boat, police say. A nearby boater rescued Erdman and two of the passengers, but 24-year-old Sydney Cole, from North Carolina, was missing.
