A boat collided with a whale off the Jersey Shore Saturday afternoon, killing the 20-foot-long animal and throwing one passenger overboard.

Social media video shows the boat swaying side to side upon impact with the whale, as a boater is tossed into the waters of New Jersey’s Barnegat Bay. The mammal — later identified as a minke whale — can then be seen slowly swimming away from the vessel.

“Oh my God, they’re going over,” a witness to the incident can be heard saying in the dramatic video. “Ooh, man overboard!”

Officials said the person sent overboard is believed to be OK, CBS News reported.

The Marine Mammal Stranding Center said it was first alerted about the whale at around 2:45 p.m. on Saturday. The animal rescue service said it got a call from New Jersey State Police that said the mammal had been spotted near the inlet of Barnegat Bay.
