Authorities at the scene of a boat collision in the San Francisco Bay. (June 30, 2022)
The collision between a center console boat and a sailboat happened roughly 1 mile southwest of Angel Island, according to the United States Coast Guard.
The driver of the center console boat was ejected from the vessel during the collision. Witnesses pulled the driver from the water and tried to save them, but the driver died at the scene in Tiburon, police said.
“You know, when I got home, stepped out of my balcony and, I saw a boat spinning out of control with a lot of other, fire boats and helicopters,” said Tiburon resident Jamal Modir.
Authorities said that one person was onboard the spinning boat while four people were on board a sail board.
“It was pretty alarming. I didn’t know what was going on. My neighbor showed me a text saying that someone had fallen off of his boat and hit by another vessel,” Modir said.
It's not clear at this time what led up to the collision. An investigation is underway.
No arrests have been made at this time, police said.
