@sacramentourbanmedia916: A tragic day on California’s coast has left two families mourning after 21-year-old Harshita Nair and 20-year-old Mahial Sran lost their lives when powerful waves swept them into the ocean at Bonny Doon Beach in Santa Cruz. The longtime friends, both Fremont natives and former Washington High School classmates, were reportedly resting near a coastal rock passage known as a “keyhole” when rising tides unexpectedly surged through the area and pulled them into the water on June 10. Harshita, a legal studies student at UC Berkeley, and Mahial, a public health major at San José State University, were both expected to graduate in 2027. Witnesses immediately called for help, prompting a large rescue response. Volunteer swimmers entered the rough surf to reach the victims before emergency crews transported both women to hospitals. Harshita later died from her injuries, while Mahial remained in critical condition before passing away days later. Officials say the section of coastline is known for dangerous currents and rapidly changing tide conditions that can catch visitors off guard. Authorities continue urging beachgoers to stay alert, understand rip current dangers, and avoid resting near the water’s edge. The tragedy marks another deadly incident along California’s coastline, which has seen several ocean rescues and fatalities in recent weeks.#fyp #viral
