Alex Cora grieving death of Miami coach's son from car crash

A tragic car crash in Miami Saturday night took the life of a 16-year-old athlete, bringing heartbreak that touched two area high schools, the University of Miami and the Boston Red Sox.

Ari Arteaga was killed and his girlfriend, Indira Rambarran, sustained "incapacitating injuries" when Arteaga's Jeep Wrangler bumped the median, swerved across the road, and crashed into a utility pole, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Arteaga played baseball and football at Miami's Columbus High School and was the son of University of Miami associate head coach J.D. Arteaga. Rambarran played volleyball at Our Lady of Lourdes Academy in Miami.
