New Jersey State Police said one person was killed and four other teens critically injured when two boats collided in the Manasquan River Friday night. Coast Guard Petty Officer Chris McLaughlin said the 15 and 25 foot boats were traveling in opposite directions when the operator of the smaller vessel lost control, causing the collision.
Witnesses say the smaller boat's five occupants appeared to be teens between the ages of 13 and 16.
Two of the injured teens were flown by medivac helicopter to Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune; the other two were taken there by ambulance. The two men aboard the larger boat were not hurt. At this time, no one has been identified.
Authorities say it's unclear whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.
