Coast Guard rescues 5 men after boat capsizes 11 miles off Florida coast

Five people were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard after their boat capsized about 11 miles off the coast of Florida, officials said Sunday.

The Jacksonville command center dispatched a Coast Guard boat and helicopter crew at 10:15 a.m. after receiving a call from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office reporting that a 24-foot vessel had overturned and that the passengers were in the water, the Coast Guard said in a news release.

Upon arrival, the Coast Guard boat crew discovered five men on top of the capsized boat wearing life jackets.
