1 Dead, 2 Missing After Tugboat Hits Barge At New York Bridge

A tugboat crew member died and two were missing after the vessel collided with a barge and sank in the Hudson River under the Tappan Zee Bridge north of New York City, authorities said.

The predawn accident Saturday involved a 90-foot tug with three people on board that struck a construction barge moored under the bridge, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. He said one crew member died in the incident.

The U.S. Coast Guard on Saturday night said that after 12 hours of looking, they had suspended the active search for the two missing crew members.
