(CNN) - Eleven people in Florida were saved after their boat capsized, thanks to a group of good Samaritans.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said it got a call Sunday evening that several people were stranded near Beer Can Island.
Their boat had turned upside down in the water, according to authorities.
Several people were swimming around it, and that’s when a nearby boat came over and began to lift people from the water.
Everyone was rescued and brought safely back to land.
One person went to the hospital for chest pains and shortness of breath. Their condition is unknown.
