A boat collided with a whale off the Jersey Shore Saturday afternoon, killing the 20-foot-long animal and throwing one passenger overboard.

Social media video shows the boat swaying side to side upon impact with the whale, as a boater is tossed into the waters of New Jersey's Barnegat Bay. The mammal — later identified as a minke whale — can then be seen slowly swimming away from the vessel.

"Oh my God, they're going over," a witness to the incident can be heard saying in the dramatic video. "Ooh, man overboard!"

Officials said the person sent overboard is believed to be OK, CBS News reported.
