A man who crashed his boat into another vessel in the New York harbor near the Statue of Liberty, leaving one man dead, was arrested Friday night for failing a breathalyzer test, NBC New York reported.

The sailor, who had male passenger, crashed his 30-foot long boat into the 20-foot boat, at 6:15pm local time, splitting it in half.

A man aboard the smaller ship died after he was taken from the scene in critical condition to Liberty Landing in Jersey City, N.J. Another passenger on the boat suffered injuries and one other was escaped injury, officials said.

Tom George from Jersey City — a cousin of one of the men on the smaller boat — said “the boat was anchored near the Statue of Liberty” when the larger boat crashed into them.

George said his cousin and others on the smaller boat were experienced boatmen.
