July 17 (UPI) -- The U.S. Coast Guard ended its search after recovering the body of a woman from the Boston Harbor where seven others were rescued from the scene of a boat crash.
Massachusetts State Police found a body matching the description of the missing woman shortly after 10 a.m. following the crash.
The boat crashed into a day marker buoy around 3 a.m., "causing all 8 [aboard] to enter the water," the Coast Guard tweeted early Saturday, adding that seven of boat's occupants have been recovered.
"USCG crews along with multiple local agencies are searching for a person in the water in Boston Harbor," they said.
The incident occurred near Castle Island in Boston Harbor, WCVB-TV reported.
Along with the USCG, the search includes Massachusetts State Police helicopters and response from Boston Fire Department, Boston Police Department and Boston Emergency Medical Services.
"Through this cooperation, seven individuals were rescued, and my condolences go out to the family and friends of the victim," Coast Guard Sector Boston Capt. Kailie Benson said. "We are grateful for the quick actions of Boston's mariners, alongside state, local and federal agencies. I would like to take this moment to remind everyone to practice safe boating by wearing life jackets, operating at a safe speed and considering the risk posed by the environment when taking to the water."
Harbor patrol rescuers plucked the seven survivors from the water and Boston EMS transported five of them to area hospitals, the Boston Fire Department tweeted.
Two of the rescued refused transfer to the hospital.
Boston police told WCVB the seven people rescued had non-life-threatening injuries.
