Suspected Smuggling Boat Crashes Against Sunset Cliffs

SAN DIEGO, CA — At least five suspected illegal immigrants who came ashore from a boat at Sunset Cliffs Thursday got away during a search by U.S. Border Patrol agents.

San Diego lifeguards were called to the scene of a boat breaking apart against the cliffs in the high surf at 6 a.m. Thursday at Adair Street and Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, according to OnScene TV.

No one was found in the water and a surveillance video showed people scrambling up the cliff and escaping, the video news service said.

The motorized boat could be seen overturned and smashing against the cliff walls.
