Three people are dead and nine remain missing after a panga-style boat overturned and washed ashore near Del Mar, California, on Monday, May 5.
The U.S. Coast Guard said it is “currently searching for 9 missing individuals off the Coast of Del Mar” after receiving a “report of an overturned vessel.” First responders found four survivors and three deceased individuals, according to Fox11 Los Angeles.
“Look for increased law enforcement activity in the area,” the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office said. The boat was about 12 feet long; its origin is unknown.
Multiple victims were hospitalized, said Jorge Sanchez, deputy fire chief with Encinitas Fire Department. Lt. Nick Backouris told the Associated Press, “A doctor hiking nearby called in and said, ‘I see people doing CPR on the beach, I’m running that way.’”
