US EditionVictims of Overturned Boat Rescued by Police Helicopter
CHESAPEAKE BAY, MARYLAND, JUL 19 – Maryland State Police Aviation Command and Calvert County fireboat safely rescued three people from the water after their boat capsized, with all victims reporting no injuries, officials said.
- On Saturday, July 19, 2025, St. Mary’s County fire and rescue personnel responded to an overturned jon boat off Far Cry Road in Lexington Park, with three people clinging to fishing nets prompting the rescue.
- Although the rescue succeeded, the boat’s capsizing circumstances remain unclear, and the Department of Natural Resources is investigating.
- Trooper 7’s crew hoisted one person into the helicopter, then directed a Calvert County fireboat to retrieve the other two, and all three declined medical transport.
- The rescue’s success underscores collaboration among multiple agencies, and with summer boating season risks rising, MSPAC’s readiness was crucial.
- Beyond this rescue, the agency’s 24/7 coverage remains crucial, supported by its AW-139 helicopters performing diverse missions including search and rescue, law enforcement, homeland security, and disaster assessment.
