Teen disappears while swimming off Huntington Beach
Crews are continuing their search for a teenager Monday who was swept away while swimming off of Huntington Beach Sunday night.
The incident was reported around 9 p.m. after two swimmers went into the water near lifeguard tower 11 but only one returned to shore, Huntington Beach Public Information Officer Jennifer Carey confirmed to KTLA.
The missing swimmer has not been identified but was described as a male teenager.
Huntington Beach Marine Safety lifeguards were among multiple agencies that responded to the scene to conduct a search for the missing teen.
Swimmers and divers search the water for an hour and a half Sunday night before being pulled from the water, Carey said.
An Orange County Sheriff’s Department air unit continued to search by air with lifeguards also searching on land throughout the night.
Carey said crews are actively continuing to search for the teen Monday morning.
