WHAT HAPPENED

A 22‑foot Bayliner speedboat overturned near Liberty Island at 10:25 p.m. on Saturday, killing a 27‑year‑old woman and her infant daughter in New York Harbor. The operator of the boat is now facing criminal charges.

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, twelve people were rescued from the water before police arrived. Divers later recovered the body of the woman, who was 27, and the infant. Authorities are investigating whether the vessel was an illegal charter, and a man has been arrested in connection with the incident, as reported by BBC News and CBS News.

The tragedy occurred close to the Statue of Liberty, a heavily trafficked area, raising concerns about vessel safety and regulation compliance in New York Harbor.
