Several still missing after charter boat accident in Mexico

July 6, 2011 By JD 3 Comments

The ERIK capsized over the July 4th Weekend in the Sea of Cortez and several people are still missing.

Mexican and U.S. search teams continue looking for “between five and seven people” missing in the capsizing of the charter fishing boat Erik over the weekend in the Sea of Cortez, Baja California Gov. Jose Guadalupe Osuna said.

A total of 35 people – 18 tourists and 17 crew members – have been rescued since the shipwreck off San Luis, an island in Baja California, which is in northwestern Mexico.

One person, Leslie Lee, died in the shipwreck, the governor said, without releasing the victim’s nationality.
