SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- A suspected smuggling boat capsized off the coast of Ocean Beach Saturday morning, with at least two people trapped inside, authorities said. According to Lifeguard Lt. Rick Romero with San Diego Fire-Rescue, a call came in around 7:40 a.m. reporting an overturned vessel inside the surf in the area of Abbott Street and Saratoga Avenue. Lifeguard units responded from various parts of the city. Once on scene, lifeguards and fire personnel discovered that multiple people, between 20 and 30, were dispersed in the water.

Romero. "Kind of an all hands on deck approach." He also said some local Ocean Beach surfers got in the mix and helped out lifeguards with rescue efforts. "Once the boat got closer on the shore and was little more stable, lifeguards were able to break the window to the vessel and get two people who were trapped inside out," Lt. Romero continued. "One of them was conscious and the other was not. CPR was then performed." The current condition of the person who was found unconscious is unknown. Some of those rescued were transported to local hospitals, though the exact number was not disclosed as Lt. Romero said it's unclear at this time. "It's a suspected smuggling event," he told FOX 5/KUSI at the scene. When asked if this rescue was more difficult than others, Lt. Romero explained that with the boat bouncing around inside the surf, it made the situation "completely dangerous." He added, "This is worst case scenario for us and it's happened quite a few times, where death can happen and then we're also watching out for our own safety as well."

Romero explaining that "a body may wash up on the beach, or it may not." When asked what happened to the migrants that reached the shore safety, the SDFD official said he thinks a lot of them may have just walked away. "It's an unfortunate incident," he added. Another suspected smuggling boat came onshore near Scripps Pier around 6 a.m. Saturday morning. By the time lifeguards and fire personnel responded, no one was located at the scene. "It happens on a weekly basis," said Lt. Romero of these kinds of incidents.
