OCEAN CITY, Md. - Coast Guard units are responding to a vessel that sank 46 miles east of Ocean City. There were reportedly 9 passengers aboard the 38-foot vessel. They called the Coast Guard by radio around 10:30 AM Saturday, telling them that they were taking on water. The Coast Guard coordinated the pick-up of all nine people with two "good samaritan vessels" in the area. They say several people were showing signs of medical distress. No word yet on their condition. We will continue to bring more information as it becomes available. Stay tuned to WMDT and wmdt.com for the very latest.
