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.
