Multiple people have been rescued off the Detroit River after a call Tuesday morning. CTV Windsor’s Robert Lothian explains.

U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) officials say Good Samaritans rescued four people from the Detroit River.

On Tuesday morning, officials with the USCG say a boat capsized near the Gordie Howe International Bridge.

One Good Samaritan boater rescued one of the victims, while a second Good Samaritan on board another boat rescued the remaining three people in the water.

The USCG sent a response vehicle to assist with getting the victims to a boat ramp in Delray, Mich., so they could all be transported to hospital via EMS.

This is a developing story.
