Whale Crashes Into Boat

It looks like a boat got a little too close to a whale over the weekend.

RCMP were called to Passamaquoddy Bay near Campobello Island Saturday night after a boat capsized when the mammal swam underneath it.

Officers tell us the boat was out observing a pod of the creatures at the time of the accident.

All five people on board were thrown into the water but were picked up by a sardine fishing vessel.

RCMP also point out that life jackets were in the vessel but nobody had one one.
