California | 8 Reported Dead After 2 Suspected Smuggling Boat Crash At Black’s Beach In San Diego
US Coast Guard and Customs & Border Protection and the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department hold a news conference following reports that eight people were killed when two suspected smuggling boats overturned off the coast San Diego, with crews are searching for seven additional victims.
At least eight people died when two migrant smuggling boats overturned late Saturday in the shallow but formidable surf along the coast of San Diego, a tragedy that ranks among the deadliest maritime smuggling incidents in U.S. history.
Officials were alerted to the deadly operation when a woman called 911 around 11:30 p.m. asking for help. She had been with seven others on a boat that made it to shore at Black’s Beach, near La Jolla. The woman, who spoke Spanish, told authorities that a second boat with up to 15 people aboard had capsized nearby.
