HAULOVER BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - A passing boater came to the aid of a person after, officials said, their boat capsized and went underwater near Haulover Beach, Sunday.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue shared video of the vessel, which overturned off Collins Avenue and 108th Street, just after 3:30 p.m.

Officials said TowBoatU.S. requested an MDFR fire boat to search for a possible person in the water. Divers searched the waters for the submerged boat and any potential passengers.

By that time, however, the good Samaritan had already picked up the one person on board and brought them back to shore.

There is no word as to what caused the boat to sink.
