A boat accident occurred between Brooklyn and Staten Island, resulting in three deaths and two hospitalizations. The 30-foot vessel capsized in the Ambrose Channel after leaving a Howard Beach marina. Emergency services, including the US Coast Guard and NYPD divers, responded to a distress call and discovered a sunken boat, retrieving five victims. As the investigation continues, authorities are missing one potential victim, while the NYPD believes all are accounted for. The cause of the capsizing remains unclear and is under investigation.
The Coast Guard said Sunday evening its divers were still searching for one more potential victim in the waters southeast of Breezy Point in Queens.
Authorities pulled five victims from the chilly waters - four of whom were unconscious during the rescue.
