Coast Guard rescues 5 people clinging to cooler in Lake Erie

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued five people found clinging to a cooler about 10 miles from the shores of Ohio in Lake Erie, according to a social media post from the agency.

The incident occurred Saturday after their 22-foot boat was "swamped" by a wave, tossing the group into the water, according to the post.

One member of the group was able to call 911 and the rescue was captured on camera at 11:34 a.m. They were all wearing life jackets and there were no medical issues, the Coast Guard reported.

They were flown to the Northwest Ohio Regional Airport in Jefferson.
