A law in memory of 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez, the victim of a boat crash when she was an Our Lady of Lourdes Academy senior, was in effect ahead of the Fourth of July boating traffic in South Florida.

The mother and father of Lucy Fernandez have made it their mission to spread awareness about boater and watercraft safety following their daughter’s death, kickstarting a visible initiative.

The Florida Legislature passed the bill dubbed Lucy’s Law late Friday night.

House Bill 289, also known as "Lucy's Law," has passed the Florida House Of Representatives.

Florida may be one step closer to getting a new boater safety law.

Loved ones and friends gathered Monday to honor the life of Lucy Fernandez.

Three victims remain hospitalized, two of them in critical condition, as friends gathered Tuesday to mourn a 17-year-old girl who died in a boat crash Sunday night in the waters near Biscayne Bay.
