Mavericks Surf Contest: Waves Sweep Away Spectators
HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — Two huge waves swept away spectators watching a Northern California surfing contest Saturday morning, causing broken bones and other injuries to people standing on a seawall.
Thirteen people were injured, with two immediately transported to area hospitals. Eleven others were being treated at the beach for injuries including "a couple broken legs and broken hands and so forth," according to California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Battalion Chief Scott Jalbert.
"They're being treated here and if necessary they'll be transported" to hospitals, he said.
He estimated "a couple hundred" people were on the seawall when the waves struck.
