A 35-year-old Canadian woman is dead after a breaching grey whale crashed onto a tourist boat Wednesday, according to Mexican authorities.

The Baja California Sur state prosecutor’s office said the collision with the whale less than two kilometres from the Cabo San Lucas resort tossed the victim into the water.

Firefighter commander Juan Carvajal Figueroa said the woman was in a boat with other tourists returning to port around noon when the whale jumped from the water and landed on the boat.

Six others were reportedly injured in the accident.

Mexican authorities confirmed Thursday morning Jenniffer Carren died as result of the accident.

According to media reports, Carren is from Calgary, Alberta.

Canadian consular officials in Cabo San Lucas are providing assistance to the victim’s family, Department of Foreign Affairs spokesperson John Babcock said in an email.

“Our thoughts are with the family and friends of a Canadian Citizen who passed away in Mexico,” Babcock said. “To protect the private and personal information of the individual concerned, further details on this case cannot be released.”

The victim was transported by boat to a local hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.

The boat was reportedly returning from a snorkelling expedition when the accident occured.
