PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — A US Coast Guard (USCG) Station crew in St. Petersburg made five rescues within three hours on Saturday (May 11).
A distress call was made just after 11 a.m. from four men on a sinking 24-foot boat near Gandy Bridge. A crew recovered all four men from their partially-submerged boat, USCG says.
No injuries were reported from that rescue.
Crews were contacted again around 1 p.m. This time Pinellas County Sheriff's Office dispatch said a woman sustained a head injury while driving a watercraft near Shell Key.
The woman was rescued and taken to EMS at Fort De Soto Boat Ramp where she could receive medical care.

The State of Florida and the VA are under scrutiny after the Baker Act was used incorrectly on a young veteran who went to a Florida VA hospital for help.
