BREAKING: At least 8 dead, 7 missing after suspected smuggling boat capsizes off San Diego coast, authorities say
A woman on one of the panga-style boats called 911 late Saturday to report that the other vessel had overturned in waves off Blacks Beach, according to U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Richard Brahm.
Two overturned boats sit on Blacks Beach, Sunday, March 12, 2023, in San Diego. Authorities say multiple people were killed, and crews were searching for other victims.Coast Guard and San Diego Fire-Rescue crews pulled eight bodies from the water, but thick fog hampered the search for additional victims. A Coast Guard cutter combed the area early Sunday, and officials hoped to get helicopters in the air when weather improves, Brahm said.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Eddie Berrios confirmed eight people died and teams were searching for at least seven more. He didn't know what kind of boats they were, but said pangas - small open boats with outboard engines used in smuggling operations - often come ashore there.
