What likely was intended to be a pleasurable morning off the coast of San Diego for at least two dozen people turned into a nightmare of horrific proportions. A San Diego boat accident resulted in a watercraft with at least 24 people on board overturned at Point Loma near the tide pools. At least two passengers are now reported to have died in the wreck, with at least 20 taken to area hospitals.
Little information currently is available about the capsized boat as of midday in Southern California, beyond at least two passengers having been killed. What is also known about the San Diego boat accident is that 20 other people have been pulled from the water by emergency responders from multiple agencies. Emergency personnel from the San Diego Fire Department, U.S. Coast Guard, Federal Fire, San Diego Life Guards, and others from various local agencies are on scene at this time.
Reports about the capsized watercraft are only developing at this time. What is known as of noon is:
- 93 emergency personnel responded from the San Diego Fire Department alone.
