A woman is killed and another person is left in critical condition after they are swept into the sea while sleeping on a beach in California, according to reports. Details of the incident indicate the individuals were on the shoreline when they were caught by water and pulled out from the beach. One woman dies, while the other remains in critical condition, the outlets report.
The reports also note that the incident follows a separate case in the same region: days earlier, a 5-year-old girl is reported to have been swept into the ocean in Laguna Beach during high surf. She is later recovered approximately two days after going missing, according to The Independent.
Taken together, the coverage links the new fatalities and injuries to ongoing dangerous coastal conditions in the area, including high surf, though the specific circumstances and timing of each incident are described separately by the sources.
