SAN DIEGO — One person died and five others were injured Saturday when a small boat packed with suspected illegal immigrants overturned off the San Diego coast, authorities said.

As many as 23 people were thought to be on the 30-foot boat when it made a crash landing about 4:30 a.m. in the surf at Torrey Pines State Park, said Maurice Luque, a spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.

Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman Jackie Dizdul said one person died on the way to a hospital. Five more people were hospitalized, and at least one person was in critical condition.
