Giant Wave Kills Tourist in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Officials say a giant wave struck a pair of U.S. tourists strolling on the beach near the famous stone arch in the Pacific resort of Cabo San Lucas, killing a 65-year-old woman and leaving a 70-year-old man in serious condition.

State police say the two were walking back to their hotel when they were hit by the wave and dragged out to sea on Tuesday. They were rescued by Navy personnel. The woman was declared dead and the man was in serious condition Wednesday.

Authorities say the woman had a Wisconsin driver’s license and the man had one from Nebraska, but it was unclear where they were currently living or whether next of kin have been notified.

The U.S. Embassy in Mexico says it has no information immediately available.
A giant wave killed an American tourist in Mexico, according to a March 6 The Epoch Times report. A 65-year-old woman and a 70-year-old man were walking on the beach in Cabo San Lucas when the giant wave swept her away, killing her.

In addition to killing the 65-year-old woman, the giant wave also left the 70-year-old man in serious condition. Navy personnel rescued the pair, but the woman was declared dead when they recovered her body.

While both Americans had identification, their names have not been released pending notification of their families. The woman’s drivers license was from Wisconsin, and the man’s was from Nebraska. Authorities are not sure why the pair were in Cabo San Lucas walking on the beach together. Hopefully the man will recover after this scary ordeal.
