Hudson River Yacht Crash Injures Dozens
On Saturday, a yacht collided with a dock on the Hudson River near West 125th Street, resulting in injuries to dozens of people. Around 4:15 p.m., the vessel struck a pylon while attempting to dock near Riverside Park.
Eyewitness accounts state that approximately 400 people were onboard for a birthday party at the time of the incident. Passengers described the unexpected impact and resulting chaos as the boat hit the dock unexpectedly.
The FDNY reported that 35 people sustained non-life-threatening injuries, with 22 transported to hospitals for treatment. The Coast Guard confirmed that the yacht suffered some damage. The investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing.
This incident follows a similar accident last month, where a Mexican navy training ship collided with the Brooklyn Bridge. That accident tragically resulted in fatalities and numerous injuries and remains under investigation.
