    Mexican navy training vessel hits New York’s Brooklyn Bridge – as reports say three injured | US News

    .

    A Mexican navy ship has hit the Brooklyn Bridge during a promotional tour in New York City.

    The New York Fire Department said authorities were responding to injuries but had no details about how many people might have been hurt or whether they were on the vessel or on the bridge.

    Sky’s US partner network NBC News reports that at least three people were seriously injured in the incident.

    The Mexican navy said in a post on X that the Cuauhtemoc, an academy training vessel, was damaged in the accident, which has prevented it from continuing its voyage.

    Eyewitness video of the collision posted online showed the mast of the ship, which was flying a large Mexican flag, scraping the underneath of the bridge.

    The vessel then drifted toward the edge of the river as onlookers scrambled away from shore.

    The Mexican navy said the status of personnel and material was under review by naval and local authorities, which were providing assistance.

    New York Mayor Eric Adams said at a press conference that a “unified effort” is underway to “make sure that we look after all of those who were on the ship”.

    The Cuauhtemoc is about 297ft long and 40ft wide, according to the Mexican navy. It sailed for the first time in 1982.

    Each year, it sets out at the end of classes at the naval military school to finish cadets’ training.

    It left the Mexican port of Acapulco, on the Pacific coast, on 6 April with 277 people onboard, the navy said at the time.
