A local boater has been charged with multiple criminal offenses after allegedly striking the Woolbright Avenue bridge and a nearby dock while operating a vessel in the Intracoastal Waterway, then fleeing the scene even after a passenger was ejected into the water. His boat ultimately sank near the George Bush Boulevard bridge in Delray Beach while under tow.
Michael Dority Gee, 28, of Delray Beach, remained lodged in the Palm Beach County Jail on Tuesday following the Sunday, Dec. 28, 2025 accident. A police report filed by an officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said he arrived at the bridge, which spans the ICW, after receiving a call at 7:17 p.m. from local authorities. Boynton Beach Fire-Rescue responders were already on scene, monitoring a dog that had been plucked from the water and the sunken vessel.
