No fewer than three people have died and nine are missing after a boat overturned off the California coast.
A spokesman for the US Coast Guard said the vessel with 16 people on board got into trouble near Del Mar, north of San Diego, around 6:30 am (1330 GMT).
“Coast Guard is currently searching for 9 missing individuals off the Coast of Del Mar, California.
“Search began after receiving a report of an overturned vessel,” a statement said.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, the spokesman said it was a “panga-style vessel” — a skiff typically used for fishing, with a high bow.
At the time of filing this report, there was no immediate information on where the boat came from or who was aboard it.
