SAN DIEGO, CA — Lifeguards rescued two people from the flooded San Diego River overnight Tuesday in San Diego.

Authorities received reports around 2 a.m. of two people stuck on the south San Diego River bank near 8865 Rio San Diego Drive, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.

San Diego Fire-Rescue spokesperson Mónica Muñoz said lifeguard rescue teams accessed the victims using a rescue boat.
