“The death of my son cannot be impossible”

The destroyed mother of the passenger, who was killed in the crash of the ferry into Clearwater, Florida, calls for her son justice – since nobody was charged in the horror -sm.

José Castro, a 41-year-old father of two children from Pinella's County, was killed when a private boat in the back of the water taxi he was on Sunday evening was injured with 10 others.

His mother, Carmen Ulloa, immediately flew from her house in Peru to Tampa when she heard the devastating news.

“I can't sleep at night,” said Ulloa by tears in Spanish. “I stay awake and call my little son and think that I will suddenly see him.”

“Let it give justice,” she said.

“There must be justice in this country … my son's death cannot be impossible.”

Jeffrey Knight, the driver of the boat who hit the back of the ferry, was not charged criminals in the incident. He held the crash responsible for the lack of proper lighting of the ferry and accused the crew of the ferry to be distracted by dolphins.

Castro's sister Sandy Todd tore off the captain's arguments, which were given to the local authorities in a letter from his lawyer.

“What he did was that he killed my brother in this accident, with some reason, light, light, no light … who knows,” she said in an interview with Wfla.

“Every apology will not bring my brother back.”

Knight also denied to flee the scene, and claimed that he was forced to leave the scene because his boat took water and had an 8 -week baby on board.

Later he passed voluntary sobriety tests and it was found that he had no trace of alcohol in his system.
