A humpback whale landed on a fishing boat in a freak accident off the southern coast of New South Wales, AustraliaAn Australian teenager is fighting for his life after a whale crashed into his boat off the southern coast of New South Wales. The youth, 18, was fishing with another man when the humpback breached and landed on the front of their small motorboat. SponsoredThe teenager, who suffered a suspected fractured skull and spinal injuries, was flown to a hospital in Canberra in a critical but stable condition. The skipper of the vessel escaped with cuts to his face and concussion but their fishing boat was left a mangled wreck. The unlikely collision happened off a beach popular with surfers at North Narooma on the far south coast of New South Wales on Sunday.
