A 20-foot-long Minke whale has died after it collided and nearly capsized a pleasure boat in New Jersey's Barnegate Bay on Saturday.

One person was knocked overboard when the whale nearly capsized the boat by crashing into it, the Marine Mammal Stranding Center said on Facebook.

A minke whale died off the New Jersey shore after a collision that nearly tipped over a small boat and threw a person overboard. Social media video of the collision in Barnegat Bay on Saturday afternoon shows the motor boat rocking after the impact and the 20-foot (6-meter) whale splashing near the craft before swimming away.
