Two cargo ships collided in the North Sea off the coast of Germany on Tuesday and one of them sank, German authorities said. At least one sailor died and rescuers were trying to find another four.
The vessels collided shortly before 5 a.m. about 22 kilometers (14 miles) southwest of the island of Helgoland, Germany's Central Command for Maritime Emergencies said. The site of the collision was about 31 kilometers (19 miles) northeast of Langeoog island, which is just off the German mainland.
