Sad start to thr holiday weekend

[skunkedagain]

A man was killed and two others were injured in New York Harbor on Friday evening when their pleasure boat was rammed by another boat apparently being driven by a man who was intoxicated, the police said.

The three victims, all 30 years old, were on a 19-foot Bayliner near the Statue of Liberty when it was struck about 6:30 p.m. by a 30-foot Pro-Line, the police said. The force of the crash split the smaller boat in two, severely injuring one of the men and trapping him in the wreckage. Rescuers struggled to extract him and took him to Liberty Landing Marina in Liberty State Park; he and the other two men from the boat were then taken to Jersey City Medical Center.

The man who had been extricated was pronounced dead at the hospital. The other men were each treated for minor injuries, including cuts and scrapes, and remained at the hospital in stable condition late Friday night, the police said. Their names were not immediately released.

Shortly after the crash, the authorities arrested the 39-year-old operator of the larger boat, who they said had failed a sobriety test. His name was not released.

They authorities said he had been on the boat with a 35-year-old woman and three toddlers. The relationship of the women and children to the operator was unclear. All of them escaped the crash unharmed, the authorities said, and were taken to a New York Police Department harbor base.

That is a shame. I hate to see stupid accidents like this.

I googled the boat name and found this: Bad News

apparently this d-bag is known for being an idiot on the water.
