Overview
- Two members of a larger jet-ski group were reported unaccounted for near Alamitos Bay Landing on Sunday night, and Long Beach Fire Department Captain Jack Crabtree said crews were notified at about 10 p.m.
- A good Samaritan and nearby fishermen heard a woman yelling around 10:30 p.m., flagged down authorities, and firefighters found her on a breakwall and rescued and assessed her on a rescue boat.
- NBC Los Angeles reported the rescued woman, described as in her 40s, was taken to a hospital in stable condition, but other outlets say only that she was assessed and do not confirm transport.
- The second rider — reported by ABC7 as a 54-year-old man — remained missing as of late Sunday and Long Beach firefighters, the U.S. Coast Guard, and Long Beach police continued coordinated searches into Monday morning.
- Nighttime conditions and the busy recreational waters of Alamitos Bay complicate searches, officials said, and authorities asked the public to await updates from LBFD and the Coast Guard as the operation continues.
