At least eight people are dead after a boat capsized Saturday night near Black's Beach in San Diego County, California, authorities say.
At least eight people have died after two smuggling boats capsized near the shore of Black’s Beach in San Diego County, California, officials said. Authorities responded Saturday around 11:30 p.m. local time after someone on one of the panga boats, a type of small fishing boat powered by an outboard motor, called 911 to report victims in the water, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
Sunday, the US Coast Guard said it suspended the search for any survivors, “pending further developments.” It is unclear how many migrants might be still missing. Human trafficking in region has spiked, chief says The area where the boats capsized is hazardous due to a series of sandbars and inshore rip currents that can “pull you along the shore and then back out to sea,” Gartland said. Gartland told CNN none of the victims found at the scene were wearing a life jacket.
