xCruzo Brief
The U.S. Coast Guard ended its search for 11 people believed missing after a boat sank off Mexico’s Baja California coast. Rescuers saved 16 people from the water, including some who told officials they had suspected shark bites, the Coast Guard said. Crews searched for nearly four days before calling off operations late Sunday. The incident occurred in an area frequented by smugglers outside U.S. waters, according to the Coast Guard. Survivors reported there were 27 people aboard, and a mayday call was made around 1 a.m. Friday. A helicopter arrived about two hours later and rescued the 16 in roughly 90 minutes. The boat sank about 140 miles (225 km) west of Ensenada.
