Five people died Saturday in New Zealand after the small charter boat they were aboard capsized, authorities say, in what may have been a collision with a whale. Another six people aboard the boat were rescued. Police said the 8.5-meter (28-foot) boat overturned near the South Island town of Kaikōura. Police said they were continuing to investigate the cause of the accident. Kaikōura Police Sergeant Matt Boyce described it as a devastating and unprecedented event, The Associated Press (AP) reported. — Agencies
