A mother and her young daughter have died after being pulled from the waters of Montara State Beach Monday afternoon, a U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant said.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, emergency crews responded to the beach at about 4:20 p.m. on reports of adults and children in the water.
The Sheriff’s Office initially reported four adults were treated at the scene and two children were taken by helicopter to Stanford hospital. Sheriff’s Lt. Ray Lunny said Monday night a mother and her daughter were taken by helicopter to an area hospital.
Coast Guard Lt. Steve Youde said the Coast Guard transported one of the victims, a young girl, to a hospital. He said the Coast Guard was notified at about 7:45 p.m. that the young girl and her mother had died.
Lunny said it appears the group of people had been playing or swimming in the water when the incident happened.
