A Florida man drowned after jumping onto an inflatable raft and paddling out to the middle of a lake to try to retrieve a stalled radio-controlled toy boat, police said Tuesday.
Another toy boat punctured the raft, causing it to deflate rapidly, and the 31-year-old victim could not swim, Miami-Dade Police said.
The accident occurred Monday evening at a park northwest of Miami where the victim and several friends were racing the remote-controlled boats.
"I think it was all purely accidental. It's a fluke," said Detective Joanne Duncan.
