At least eight people are dead after two boats crashed off the San Diego coast late Saturday night, officials from San Diego Fire and Rescue said.

Authorities said they suspected the vessels were involved in smuggling.

An estimated seven additional victims remain missing. The Coast Guard suspended the search for them around mid-afternoon local time on Sunday.

The panga boats capsized around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, officials said, adding that a Spanish-speaking female passenger on another boat that made it to the shore of Black's Beach called 911 to report that victims of the other boat were in the water.
