BARNEGAT BAY – A 20-foot mink whale died Saturday, Aug. 2 in the bay after being struck by a boat, which nearly capsized and forced a passenger overboard, according to officials.

Footage from the collision, shared by NJ.com, shows the moment the boat nearly flipped when coming into contact with the whale. A passenger wearing a blue shirt and sun hat could be seen falling off the back right of the motorized vessel as witnesses on a nearby boat yelled to the fellow boaters and encouraged them to "shut the motor off."
