The US Coast Guard and another vessel rescued five people on Saturday from a sinking vessel 13 miles northwest of Cat Cays, Bahamas.

The watchstanders issued an urgent marine information broadcast and diverted the Coast Guard Cutter Robert Yered to assist.

The other vessel Troy crew responded to the UMIB and transferred three people off the La Bella as it attempted to make it back to Cat Cays.
