SOUTH HAVEN — Four people escaped injury Saturday evening when their boat sank while entering the Lake Michigan entrance to the Black River channel in South Haven.
South Haven Area Emergency Service and Van Buren Sheriff Marine Patrol responded to the alarm at 6:55 p.m.
First responders said the 30-foot-long boat capsized with four people aboard. Three had been rescued by occupants of another boat and a fourth was pulled from the water by people who witnessed the incident from the pier.
No injuries requiring immediate medical attention were reported.
Witnesses reported seeing the boat enter the channel with its occupants feverishly bailing water. An engine had apparently stalled, causing the powerless boat to be swamped. Waves on Lake Michigan were reported to be three feet at the time.
The boat was to be recovered by a private salvage company.
