NJ, NY rescue crews save 4 people who were clinging to hull of overturned boat off Sandy Hook

Rescue crews saved four people who were clinging to the hull of an overturned boat. The boat was found over two miles from the tip of Sandy Hook, New Jersey.

Four people found clinging to the hull of an overturned boat off New Jersey were rescued and taken to a hospital, authorities said.

Coast Guard officials in New York say Coast Guard crews and New York police and fire units were deployed to the area off Sandy Hook after receiving a distress call about 1 a.m. Sunday over VHF Channel 16 from the sailing vessel Eagle, which reported having run aground and was taking on water.

Petty Officer Logan Kaczmarek told the Asbury Park Press that rescue crews found a floating debris field of items from the boat. They then found the four people about 2:15 a.m. Sunday holding onto the floating hull near the Romer Shoal Light Station about 2½ nautical miles from the tip of Sandy Hook.
