Police are searching for a 20-year-old woman after a boat capsized near Navy Pier early Friday morning.

The boat was returning to shore around 2:40 a.m. when it possibly struck a breakwater, injuring six people, all between 20 and 30 years old.

Police and the fire department responded to the scene where six people were rescued from the water. Four people were transported to Northwestern Hospital and two others transported to Stroger Hospital. All are in good condition, police said.

A 20-year-old woman could not be located at the scene and search efforts were paused due to weather. Police said the search will resume Friday morning.

Last August, a woman lost her legs when she was sucked under a reversing boat’s propeller in Chicago’s “Playpen” — a heavily populated boating hot spot in downtown Chicago. Days earlier, a man was found dead and another critically injured in a separate incident.
