2 injured in Rhode Island boat collision
Two people were injured Sunday morning when two boats reportedly collided between Warwick Neck and Allen Harbor in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management tells NBC10 Boston affiliate WJAR that two men — aged 65 and 69 — were taken to Rhode Island Hospital with unspecified injuries.
Officials say the boats — a 45-footer and an 18-footer — were involved in the incident shortly after 9 a.m.
Coast Guard Lt. Matthew Lopez tells WJAR that damage to the larger boat, an Ohana, was cosmetic but the smaller craft, a Striper cuddy cruiser, had to be towed to shore.
It did not appear that fuel leakage had occurred, Lopez added, but damage was evident on the cuddy cruiser, which was towed into Allen Harbor and then trailered out of the water.
There was no immediate update on the men’s conditions.
The cause of the incident remains under investigation.

PROVIDENCE – Four young men from Rhode Island have been named in an indictment that accuses them of stealing about 120 high-end vehicles, worth about $5 million, from 12 dealerships in other states last year.
The four conspirators, including two Providence men, a Cranston man and a North Providence man, targeted auto and motorcycle dealerships across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Cunha said in a news release.
The men took Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Land Rover and other vehicles in a conspiracy that was investigated by the FBI with help from numerous local police departments, federal prosecutors say.
Law enforcement has recovered 41 stolen vehicles and 11 dirt bikes, securing most of the vehicles in either Rhode Island or Massachusetts, they say.
A $96,000 Jeep
A surveillance video obtained by Providence police shows two men, who look like two of the conspirators, putting a cover over a vehicle valued at $96,000, prosecutors say.
The scene, which involved a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, unfolded in a Providence driveway last year, prosecutors say.

Stolen motorcycles in a North Providence garage
In another case, the conspirators stole 19 premium Husqvarna motorcycles from a dealership in Phillipston, Massachusetts, according to prosecutors. The motorcycles were found in the garage of a conspirator who lives in North Providence, the release said.

How it Happened
Rhode Island had its most explosive game of the season, beating St. Bonaventure 4-3 in the Atlantic 10 home opener Saturday night.
The game started with three goals in three minutes. Junior forward Íñigo Etxegarai scored his first of two goals on the night at the nine minute mark. A free kick by Keegan Walker was touched by Isnaba Namussé who had a pass to Etxegarai at the top of the box. The San Sebastian, Spain native blasted a shot past Bonnies keeper Nicolas Pucci for his first goal of the season.
Two minutes later the visitors broke through to knot the score at 1-1. Umechi Akuazaoku had a shot from the top of the box that found the back of the net. The score didn’t stay tied for long as an own goal gave the Rams a 2-1 lead going into the break.
The scoring continued in the second half, as Etxegarai scored again, this time off a quick touch from Brandon Bermingham at the 50th minute. The Bonnies kept fighting, striking in the 55th minute when Callum Shillington set up a pass to Mo Tall in the corner of the box. The shot by Tall soared past Rhody keeper Nate DiLoreto’s reach for his first goal of the season.
St. Bonaventure scored its third goal of the night to tie it at 3-3 when Akuazaoku headed in a rebound off an initial shot by Kenzo Brito that hit the top post.
The game looked to finish in a draw until Joan Sanchis scored a game-winner with less than four minutes remaining in the game. Nate Yurkovic had a cross from the corner and Sanchis tipped it in off his head for his third goal of the year and Rhody held on to win.
