Vessels numbers 1 and 2 were west bound in Newark Bay just west of the Bayonne Bridge.  The operator of vessel #1 activated the blue light so that he could stop vessel #2.  Vessel #2 attempted to stop as the Union County Police boat approached.   Vessel #2 cut his engines and was adrift.  Vessel #2 and vessel #1 then collided bow to bow.
