Tomás Yankelevich Returns to Argentina in Wheelchair as Miami Boat-Crash Probe Adds Witness Accounts

Sources attribute his wheelchair use to a minor pádel ligament injury under rehabilitation.

Overview

  • The television producer arrived at Ezeiza from Miami and was filmed being transported in a wheelchair, traveling alone to visit his father, Gustavo Yankelevich.
  • América’s LAM aired the airport video and, citing family friends, reported that he suffered a minor ligament injury playing pádel and is using a protective boot during rehabilitation.
  • Panelists said he chose an economy seat despite holding a first-class ticket, a choice they suggested was intended to avoid attention.
  • U.S. authorities continue to investigate the July 29 barge–sailboat collision in Miami that killed 7-year-old Mila Yankelevich, gathering witness statements and reviewing video and navigational data.
  • Recent broadcasts highlighted testimony from worker William Cruza, who told investigators he saw a barge moving at high speed toward a small boat and shouted warnings before the impact.
