Rescuers Tell Boaters Stuck on Sand Bar Off New Jersey to Wait for High Tide

Camden County rescuers told people on board a stranded boat to wait for the tide to come back in after they got stranded in Timber Creek.

The boaters became stranded on a sandbar off 112 New Jersey Road in Brooklawn, New Jersey around dusk.

Firefighters arrived on the scene and told the boaters to hang tight until the tide came back in overnight, said authorities. High tide is expected around 3:45 a.m. but it should come in enough around midnight to make the rescue.

No one was hurt.
