BOSTON, June 28 (Nationwide Times) — A duck boat overturned near the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Saturday, injuring at least six people and sending emergency crews to a busy waterfront area in the Boston region.

Cambridge police spokesperson Bob Reardon said 32 people were aboard when the tour boat turned on its side. Reardon said Cambridge Fire reported that all people aboard were accounted for, and none of the passengers wound up in the water.

Reardon said some of the injuries were minor and two were more serious. Boston EMS later reported 11 injuries, including one serious injury, while authorities said the cause of the overturn was not immediately clear.

The boat was reported near a ramp on Museum Way close to Education Street, and Massachusetts State Police said it would lead the investigation.
