Two children have died on a boating trip off New Jersey after the vessel they were aboard collided with a channel marker, pitching them into the water.
The boy, 7, and girl, 9, were sailing in a 30-foot Tidewater Custom 280 Sunday evening off Berkeley Township when the fatal incident occurred. Their boat hit Intercoastal Waterway’s Marker 39 at around 9 p.m., ejecting them into Barnegat Bay as darkness fell.
