Many injured as Mexican Navy ship crashes into Brooklyn Bridge

At least 22 people have been injured and three remain in a serious condition after a Mexican Navy training ship crashed into New York City's Brooklyn Bridge.

Footage shows the towering masts of the Cuauhtémoc clipping the bridge as the sailing vessel was passing under the famous structure on Saturday evening.

Parts of the masts reportedly fell on the deck. The injuries were sustained because some members of the crew were standing on the masts at the time of collision, authorities said.

More than 200 people were on board the vessel, which was on a goodwill visit. Local media reports say the ship reportedly lost power before the collision.
