NEW YORK — The body of a second tugboat crew member who went missing after the boat crashed into a barge on the Hudson River north of New York City has been pulled from the river, authorities said Sunday.
The 90-foot tugboat named Specialist hit a barge early Saturday morning near where the new Tappan Zee Bridge, which connects two counties north of New York City, is being built. The tugboat sank, spilling about 5,000 gallons of fuel into the water.
The body has been identified as Timothy Conklin, 29, of Westbury, Long Island, New York. His body was brought back to shore after divers found him inside the tugboat around 11 a.m. Sunday.
The third crew member aboard the tugboat when it crashed has been identified as Harry Hernandez, 56, of Staten Island, New York. He remains missing.
The body of Paul Amon, 62, of Bayville, New Jersey, was pulled from the water Saturday.
Divers were expected to resume the search later Sunday, said Westchester County police spokesman Kieran O’Leary. The tugboat was damaged to the point that a full search was not possible, he added.
