Coast Guard Receives Mayday Near Richmond-San Rafael Bridge
Rescuers suspend the search after finding no debris or boats in distress.
The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for the sender of a distress signal that was received Sunday night, Coast Guard officials said.
The Coast Guard received a mayday radio call at 10:53 p.m., followed by a radio report from someone who said a boat had collided with another vessel and that someone was in the water.
Rescue crews began searching the water near the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, but found no one in distress and no debris that would suggest two boats had crashed, according to the Coast Guard.
