| Two treated at hospital after boat runs aground
Two women were treated at a local hospital after their boat ran aground at Crystal Cove State Park on Saturday morning.
Lifeguards first reported the boat nearing shore just before 8 a.m. Saturday, said Sgt. David Ginther with the Orange County Sheriff's Department Harbor Patrol in Newport Beach.
By the time a patrol boat arrived, the 37-foot Hatteras Sportfisher had run aground, he said.
One woman on board suffered a cut to her head and another complained of pain, Ginther said. Both were treated at Hoag Hospital.
Two others on the boat were not injured.
The four had spent the night anchored off Laguna Beach and were headed back to Newport Harbor on Saturday morning, Ginther said. The driver was relying on a radar system to navigate in thick fog and apparently mistook some rocks for the harbor mouth.
The driver tested positive for alcohol but was under the legal limit and was not arrested, Ginther said.
No fuel leaked from the boat, which was later removed from the beach.
