North Myrtle Beach Boat Crash: Four Rescued After Late Night Incident
North Myrtle Beach saw some action early Sunday morning when a *boat crash* left four people stranded. Yep, that’s right! Just before 5 a.m., the Horry County Fire Rescue team was called to the North Jetty after reports of a watercraft mishap. From what we gathered, a boat made its unfortunate move and collided with the jetty.
Rescue Operation in Full Swing
Thanks to the quick response of our local heroes, the Horry County Fire Rescue team hopped on their tow boat and headed straight to where the stranded boaters were waiting. It must have been quite the sight at that hour, with waves crashing and the early morning air mixed with the buzz of excitement and worry.
Fortunately, these four folks had a bit of luck on their side. The rescue team was able to safely bring them back to the marina without any injuries reported. Talk about a *close call*! It’s moments like these that remind us how important quick thinking and courage are, especially when things don’t go as planned.
