At least 8 migrants killed in smuggling attempt off the coast of Black’s Beach after their panga boat capsized.
SAN DIEGO – Eight migrants drowned late Saturday when two alleged smuggling boats capsized off Black’s Beach in the Torrey Pines area.
U.S. Coast Guard officials got a call from the San Diego Police Department at 11:35 p.m. Saturday about a boat landing on Black’s Beach, Coast Guard spokesman Adam Stanton told City News Service. Gartland said an unknown person who spoke Spanish called San Diego dispatch and told them about the two vessels, holding a total of 15 people, overturning.
first responders arrived on the scene, which was hazardous due to sand bars and in-shore rip currents. “This is one of the worst maritime smuggling tragedies that I can think of in California, certainly here in the city of San Diego,” Gartland“This is not necessarily people trying to find a better life,” said Capt. James Spitler, sector commander for the U.S. Coast Guard San Diego.
