A minke whale died off the New Jersey shore after a collision that nearly tipped over a small boat and threw a person overboard.

Footage from the collision, shared by NJ.com, shows the moment the boat nearly flipped when coming into contact with the whale. A passenger wearing a blue shirt and sun hat could be seen falling off the back right of the motorized vessel as witnesses on a nearby boat yelled to the fellow boaters and encouraged them to "shut the motor off."
