Lille, France: A minor died when an overcrowded boat attempted to cross the Channel to Britain and another would-be asylum seeker was injured and airlifted to hospital, French authorities said on Saturday.
The migrant boat issued a call for assistance on Saturday morning and rescuers picked up 14 people on board, including the deceased, whose precise age and sex were not yet known, they said.
The injured person was airlifted to hospital in Boulogne, northern France, maritime authorities said.
The other passengers continued their journey.
The officials said the accident was not a shipwreck and the deceased had been found in the boat, not in the water.
