A boat carrying 10 people who were fishing in the San Joaquin River struck some rocks and flipped upside down at about 4:00 p.m., dumping all occupants into the water. One 8-year-old child, identified as Jonathan Ledesma Mejia, was killed from either being hit by the boat or more rocks in the river, and three other people were brought to the hospital but are expected to recover. All children were wearing life-jackets.
