BOSTON, June 28 (Nationwide Times) — A duck boat overturned Saturday near the entrance to the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts, injuring at least six people and triggering a state police investigation, authorities said.
Cambridge police said the sightseeing boat turned on its side near a ramp on Museum Way by Education Street shortly after 3 p.m. A police spokesperson, Bob Reardon, said 32 people were aboard when the boat overturned.
Reardon said some of the injuries were minor and two were more serious. Boston EMS later gave a different early count, saying 11 people were injured and one had serious injuries.
Officials said everyone aboard was accounted for and that none of the passengers ended up in the water.
The cause was not immediately clear. In one account relayed by authorities, the boat was being towed when a tow rope broke. Massachusetts State Police said they would lead the investigation.
