SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Three people were hospitalized after their boat capsized off Ocean Beach in San Francisco, officials said.
The San Francisco Fire Department arrived at the scene about 5:30 p.m. Thursday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
A man identified only as Ryan said he was jogging on the beach when he saw a woman in the water, struggling to carry a man from the capsized boat to shore. Ryan said he picked the man up and carried him.
"He was out of it," Ryan said. "He was limp and lifeless. I could hear the water in his lungs as he breathed."
Two other people came ashore nearby.
What caused the boat, a 17-foot Boston Whaler, an open-deck, fiberglass vessel with a foam-filled hull, to capsize was not immediately determined, but the National Weather Service had issued a high-surf warning for the area earlier in the day.
