Five people in New Zealand have died after the small charter boat they were aboard capsized in what may have been a collision with a whale.
Police said the 8.5-meter boat overturned near the South Island town of Kaikōura. Police said they were continuing to investigate the cause of the accident.
“This has been a tragic event and the police are providing support to those involved at this very difficult time,” Kaikōura Police Sergeant Matt Boyce told reporters at the scene,Kaikōura Mayor Craig Mackle told The Associated Press that the water was dead calm at the time of the accident and the assumption was that a whale had surfaced from beneath the boat.ADVERTISEMENT
He said locals had helped with the rescue efforts throughout the day but the mood in the town was “somber” because the water was so cold and they feared for the outcome of anybody who had fallen overboard. Mackle said he’d thought in the past about the possibility of a boat and whale colliding, given the number of whales that frequent the region.
