One Missing After Boat Crashes Into Salisbury Jetty

A multi-agency overnight search that rescued two people has resumed this morning as crews continue to look for the unaccounted-for boater.

Overview

  • Police say a boat struck the rocky jetty at Salisbury Beach Reservation late Friday, triggering an emergency response.
  • Two people were pulled from the water and taken to local hospitals, and officials have not released their identities or medical conditions.
  • Troopers, the State Police marine unit and airwing, and the U.S. Coast Guard searched by water and air into the early morning hours.
  • Search operations resumed Saturday morning with additional local resources expected to join the effort, and the missing person remains unlocated.
  • The Salisbury jetty is a long, rocky wall that extends into the mouth of the Merrimack River, a feature that can make boat crashes harder to avoid and rescues more difficult.
