BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard says dozens of people were rescued from a water taxi that got stuck about a mile off California's Berkeley Marina.

Petty Officer Cory Mendenhall said the agency received a call around 3 p.m. Saturday that a ferry carrying more than 40 people had run aground.

He said all passengers were safely on land and there were no reported injuries.
