Swimmers in multiple locations along the Jersey Shore had to be pulled in from the waves over the Labor Day weekend due to powerful rip currents that dragged them out to sea, leaving at least two people dead.
Five people were pulled to safety, according to rescue teams. A sixth person was taken from the water, but did not survive.
In nearby Seaside Park, it was another red flag day — meaning no swimming. Lifeguards were working to keep beachgoers out of the ocean, as witnesses said they saw a number of similar rescues over the course of the weekend. Many said that the rescues occurred after 6 p.m., when lifeguards are no longer on duty to keep people out of the water.
A police boat was patrolling the waters off Seaside Park Monday evening, the same beach where officials said they assisted in 10 emergencies over the holiday weekend — with the last one turning tragic, as one person died.
