Boat Capsized Off San Diago Coast Leaving 27 Injured And 3 Dead

Just before 10 a.m, San Diego Lifeguard officials received a call that a vessel was adrift with one person on board. When the emergency crews arrived on the scene at 200 Catalina Blvd, 30 people were in the water. Crews sprang into action to rescue as many as they could. Customs and Border Patrol officials suspect it was a smuggling boat that crashed into the shoreline off Point Loma. By the time rescue workers arrived 3 people had passed away and 27 others were dealing with injuries. Watch the video above for more details.
