A couple and their dog, taking a moonlit boat ride on a lake in New Jersey, were nearly killed when another boat collided with them and then kept going.

Two relatives visiting from Colombia died when their boat overturned on Manhattan's West Side. Derick Waller reports."And a voice in my head yelled duck really loud," Richman said.

"The next thing I know, I'm flying through the air and the dog flying and we hit the floor of the pontoon," Pechmiller said."I just yelled to Jon, I said he didn't stop. He didn't stop. He didn't know if he killed us or not, he just kept going."Richman was able to follow for a bit, but then the crippled pontoon sputtered to a stop.The other boat was so close, Richman says its propeller grazed his back before speeding away.
