On Saturday afternoon, a yacht carrying 352 passengers collided with a pier on the Hudson River in New York City, resulting in minor injuries for many individuals. The incident occurred shortly after 4 p.m. at the intersection of Henry Hudson Parkway and 125th Street in Manhattan. While reports indicated the yacht was hosting a party at the time of the crash, NBC News was unable to confirm specific details regarding the event onboard.
In the aftermath of the crash, 35 passengers were transported to three different hospitals for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, as reported by the fire department.
