At least three die after small boat overturns near San Diego

A Coast Guard cutter and a helicopter were searching for the missing, Schnabel said. Two children were believed to be among them.

The US Coast Guard said in a post on the X social media platform that it was searching off Del Mar, California, about 20 miles (32 km) north of San Diego, after receiving a report of an overturned vessel. The boat was found on the beach at about 6:30 a.m. PDT.

Nick Backouris, a lieutenant with the San Diego Sheriff’s office, said his office helped with victims on the beach. “The deputies were assisting with life-saving measures,” he said.
