OCEAN SHORE, Wash. (AP) — State officials say a shrimping boat is sinking near Ocean Shores. They are concerned about a possible fuel leak.

KIRO-TV reports (http://is.gd/2CxB6V ) the boat has about 3,000 gallons of fuel on board.

The Washington Department of Ecology says three people were rescued from the boat and the captain of the vessel is in the hospital.

A salvage crew was expected to recover the vehicle later in the weekend, and state officials say they saw no sign of a fuel spill as of noon Saturday.
