Thick fog hampers search for additional victims as Coast Guard and San Diego Fire-Rescue crews pull bodies of eight adults from the water
At least eight people were killed when two migrant smuggling boats approached a San Diego beach amid heavy fog and one capsized in the surf, and crews searched Sunday for additional victims, authorities said.
Coast Guard and San Diego Fire-Rescue crews pulled the bodies of eight adults from the water, but thick fog hampered the search for additional victims. A Coast Guard cutter combed the area early Sunday and a helicopter crew joined the search after weather cleared at midmorning. Pangas, small open boats with outboard engines frequently used in smuggling operations, often come ashore along the wide stretch of sand that’s also known as Torrey Pines City Beach and Torrey Pines State Beach, officials said.
The nationalities of the passengers were unknown. Illegal crossings have soared under President Joe Biden, with many migrants turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents and being released in the United States to pursue their cases in immigration court.
