One person is dead and two are missing after a boat crash in the Connecticut River Monday night, according to reports.
Nine people were on board a boat in Old Saybrook, 30 miles east of New Haven, Connecticut, when it crashed into a jetty at the mouth of the Connecticut River, near Harbor One Marina, according to NBC Connecticut and CNN.
The boat broke into pieces and the nine people onboard ended up in the water, reported CNN.
