The Coast Guard reported a distress call from a 21 foot vessel that capsized in the Nehalem Bay, Oregon. The unidentified vessel reportedly capsized and sank. There is no indication of what caused the incident.
The Coast Guard dispatched two rescue vessels and a beach crew to assist in the rescue. Three of the crewmembers were able to make it to shore and the other three were brought to shore by the Coast Guard. Five of the crewmembers were taken by a waiting Tillamook County Ambulance and transported to Tillamook County Hospital with minor injuries. Their conditions are currently unknown.
