One missing after collision on river IJ
One person is missing following a collision on the Amsterdam IJ between a ship and an historic boat, reports news agency ANP on Tuesday.
The accident happened on Monday evening near the Oude Houthaven.
Two people on the historic boat fell overboard when the ships collided. A female passenger on a passing ferry jumped in to try and save them, says ANP. One was eventually pulled out by a fireman but the other is still missing.
The historic boat sank shortly after the collision.
