Boat crash injures one off Sandy Hook

One person is recovering from injuries after two boats collided in the Sandy Hook Channel Sunday afternoon, according to Coast Guard officials.

The crash happened about a half-mile from the tip of Sandy Hook and involved seven people. NJ Advance Media reports a 20-foot recreational boat sustained damage to its starboard quarter after it was struck by another 25-foot boat, which sustained minimal damage.

A man on the 20-foot vessel was transported to Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch and treated for a cut on his arm and back pain.

New Jersey State Police cited one boater for failure to maintain a lookout.
