1 dead after Coast Guard ship collides with fishing boat near Puerto Rico

One person was killed and another was injured after a Coast Guard ship collided with a fishing boat in waters off Puerto Rico, the U.S. Coast Guard said Monday night.

The Coast Guard identified the person killed as fisherman Carlos Rosario, who was aboard the 23-foot fishing vessel called the Desakata. His brother, Samuel Rosario Beltran, was injured. 

The crash occurred between the Desakata and the Winslow Griesser, a 154-foot Sentinal Class fast response cutter, on Monday afternoon about four nautical miles north of Dorado, Puerto Rico, the Coast Guard said.
