Macomb County Officials Rescue 4 From Lake St. Clair: WATCH

MACOMB COUNTY, MI — Four people were rescued from Lake St. Clair Sunday after their boat capsized, according to the Macomb County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff's officials found the four individuals wearing life jackets and clinging to their overturned boat in Lake St. Clair, roughly a mile east of the mouth of the Clinton River at 3:04 p.m. Sunday, according to the sheriff's office.

Officials then rescued all four boaters from the choppy waters, according to the sheriff's office.

The boaters told officials they were planning to spend the afternoon fishing before the rough waters sent waves over the gunwale, according to the sheriff's office.

Water began entering compartments and would not drain, causing the boat to flip, according to the sheriff's office.

"This group of boaters made the best decision possible when they chose to wear life jackets on their outing," Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said. "I sincerely appreciate the efforts of our Marine Division rescuing these individuals and ensuring they made it safely back to shore."
