At least two people were killed and 19 others injured after a Mexican Navy training sailing ship collided with the iconic Brooklyn Bridge during a promotional tour on Saturday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said.

"At this time, of the 277 on board, 19 sustained injuries, 2 of which remain in critical condition, and 2 more have sadly passed away from their injuries," Adams posted on X.


Nick Corso, a witness, told AFP that it looked like there was a lot of panic aboard the vessel with "lots of screaming" and "some sailors hanging from the masts."

The Cuauhtemoc, a barque built in 1982 with a mast height of 48.2 meters (158 feet) had been on a training maneuver at the time and was damaged in the "mishap," a statement posted by the Mexican Navy on X said.

The cause of the collision is under investigation.
