Three people have died and at least 15 were injured in separate incidents linked to rough seas battering the Spanish island of Tenerife, pulling several victims into the ocean, emergency services said. A rescue helicopter airlifted a man who had fallen into the water at a beach in La Guancha, a municipality in the north of the island, but he was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.

Rough seas that flipped a fishing boat Saturday morning kept hammering the five people tossed into Tomales Bay, draining their strength as they clung to life in the frigid water. One of them a 6-year-old girl was trapped beneath the overturned vessel. Her father dove under, reaching blindly in water where he couldn't know what hazards fishing gear, lines or ropes might be lurking.
