A 30-foot boat with seven people on board crashed into the rock breakwall at the east entrance of the Long Beach Marina last night, injuring two women.<\/p>\n
The crash occurred just after 9 p.m. Friday, Long Beach Fire Department Capt. Jack Crabtree told City News Service.<\/p>\n
LBFD Marine Safety employees heard the distress call and sent a rescue boat to the scene, Crabtree said.<\/p>\n
They found the vessel had sustained moderate damage but was not taking on water or sinking and was on its own power as the rescue boat escorted it to a public dock in the 400 block of Shoreline Drive, he said.<\/p>\n
The two women suffered moderate injuries and were taken by paramedics to a hospital for treatment, Crabtree said.<\/p>\n
Video from the scene showed the women being loaded into ambulances on gurneys. One woman had a cover over her face while the other had her left arm immobilized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 30-foot boat with seven people on board crashed into the rock breakwall at the east entrance of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":386087,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[131,133,132],"class_list":["post-386823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386823\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
