6 Rescued After Boat Overturns In Cape Cod Canal

BOURNE (CBS) – Six people were rescued Sunday morning from the Cape Cod Canal after their boat overturned.

It happened around 7 a.m. when the 15-foot recreational boat flipped over. They were in the water for about 10 minutes.

A Good Samaritan alerted the U.S. Coast Guard to the incident. That boater and another Good Samaritan boater picked up three people apiece.

The first group of three was transferred to a Marion firefighter vessel and the second to the Army Corps of Engineers.

No serious injuries were reported.
