One of the hospitalized people was in critical condition Monday morning, police said, a day after the speed boat took on water 5 miles (8 kilometers) southeast of Breezy Point, a neighborhood at the tip of Queens' Rockaway peninsula.
“The Coast Guard is still searching for the missing individual,” Sydney Phoenix, a Guard spokesperson, said Monday morning in an email to The Associated Press.
Three people died and two others were hospitalized after a boat sank in New York, sparking a search for a missing person by the U.S. Coast Guard.
“We currently have an aircrew from Air Station Atlantic City and the Coast Guard Cutter Chadwick” in the area.
The other victim was in stable condition.
