The whale could be seen struggling in the water after hitting the boat.

She says she was visible wrong with the huge mammal.

“She got under the boats … It was a crazy experience,” she said.

Officials said that, after collision, the whale was seen resting on a sandbank in the small water.

The whale was later declared dead on the sandy bench, according to the MMSC.

The preliminary results of the necropsy showed that the whale was in poor general condition, a poor body condition, with external cuts, ecchymoses on the dorsal side, blood in the lungs, empty stomach and gastric injuries, officials said.

Before the whale was buried on the beach, samples were collected for additional analysis.
