Thirteen people, including a child, were rescued from a fishing vessel just moments before it sank in darkness early Friday in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Virginia, authorities said.

The 115-foot Tremont fishing vessel collided with the 1,000-foot Panamanian-flagged container vessel MSC Rita, about 100 kilometers from shore, the Coast Guard said in a statement.
