Hudson River boating accident leaves 2 missing, 4 injured

A Hudson River accident has left two boaters missing and four injured, U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman Ali Flockerzi said Saturday.

A bride-to-be and her groom's best man are the ones missing, according to CNN affiliate WABC, citing relatives.

The names of the boaters were not immediately released, but WABC identified the bride as Lindsay Stewart of Piermont.

"We're doing all we can to help recover these people," he said.

The injured -- all men -- include Stewart's fiance, who suffered a fractured eye socket, WABC reported.

The bride's mother, Carol Stewart, told the affiliate that some friends had picked up her daughter by boat, but she didn't know where they were going.

The groom-to-be told the mother that they hit something and he called 911.

"She's supposed to be married two weeks from today," Carol Stewart said. "It just can't end like this."

The Coast Guard has retrieved the vessel, a 21-foot Stingray power boat, Flockerzi said.

Rockland County Police Chief William Barbera said the boat hit a barge about 200 feet south of the Tappan Zee Bridge. The bridge is located about 25 miles north of Manhattan.

High tides forced rescuers to suspend the search after a few hours Friday night, authorities said. The effort resumed 9 a.m.
