SUMMARY: The Coast Guard and good Samaritans rescued five adults who were injured in a boat collision near Galveston, Texas. The accident happened when an 18-foot pleasure craft collided with a barge and capsized. All five boaters were in the water and had sustained injuries, and they were not wearing life jackets. A nearby towing vessel pulled all five people from the water before the Coast Guard arrived. Two of the boaters with more severe injuries were transported to a hospital, while the remaining three with minor injuries were taken to a different location. The cause of the collision is being investigated.
