View Date:2024-12-24 00:21:59
After 22 hours, the search for a missing man swept out by a wave in California has been suspended by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The 54-year-old man was reportedly swept into the ocean by a wave on Saturday at Martins Beach in California, near Half Moon Bay, a coastal city about 30 miles south of San Francisco. The search for the man began Saturday afternoon, along with a search for a 5-year-old girl also swept out by the wave.
The girl was later recovered by San Mateo County fire personnel, according to the Coast Guard. She was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead..
The search for the man, who has not been publicly identified, involved Coast Guard search crews from Air Station San Francisco, Station Golden Gate and Coast Guard Cutter Hawksbill in search patterns covering 100 square miles.
The decision to suspend the search was made Sunday at 12:38 p.m.
In a statement, Capt. Jordan Baldueza, the deputy commander of Coast Guard Sector San Francisco said the decision to suspend the search was "one of the hardest decisions to make," but the crews had searched for nearly 24 hours without any sightings of the man.
"Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends affected by this very tragic event," Baldueza said.
