Two Fremont Women Die After Being Swept From Santa Cruz Beach

Two Fremont women, Harshita Nair and Mahial Sran, were swept into the Pacific while napping near a keyhole at Bonny Doon Beach in Santa Cruz County. About eight rescue swimmers helped recover them; one was helicoptered to Yellow Bank Beach and later died, while the other remained in critical condition at a local hospital. Officials say the area’s steep shoreline and rogue waves make this stretch especially dangerous, and this rescue was the fifth along the coast in the past month.
