Three WA men rescued after boat hits reef

Three men on a fishing boat had to be rescued after hitting a reef off the coast north of Perth.

Police received a triple-zero call from the owner of an 11-metre, cray-boat, who said he had hit a reef, three kilometres west of the Two Rocks marina, and was sinking on Saturday around 6.30pm.

A police helicopter located the men after flares and an EPIRB device were used. A rescue crew found the boat and three men aged in their 60s on board.
