Canadian woman killed after whale lands on tourist boat

According to Globalnews, a 35-year-old Canadian woman died after a grey whale crashed into a Mexican tourist boat on Wednesday.

“The Baja California Sur state prosecutor’s office said the collision with the whale less than two kilometres from the Cabo San Lucas resort tossed the victim into the water. Firefighter commander Juan Carvajal Figueroa said the woman was in a boat with other tourists returning to port around noon when the whale jumped from the water and landed on the boat.”

According to reports, the boat was returning from a snorkeling expedition when the accident occurred. The woman died from her injuries when the whale hit the side of the boat.
