One person died and three others were missing, including two children, after a small boat capsized on a river near Jacksonville, Florida, on Friday night, authorities said.
The U.S. Coast Guard received reports of an overturned vessel around 7 p.m. near Goat Island, which is north of Jacksonville. No one was wearing life jackets, according to a Coast Guard news release.
Officials said that the people on board had set out to take photos of the sunset while on the St. Johns River, which is the longest river in Florida and winds through and around Jacksonville.
The marine unit of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office rescued four boaters who were perched atop the overturned boat. According to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, none of the survivors were taken to a hospital. There were four others thought to have been underneath the boat. Divers from the sheriff’s office did not find any people underneath the boat, however.
