MOBILE, Ala. — The Coast Guard medevaced a 75-year-old woman from a cruise ship in Mobile Bay near Mobile, Ala., Thursday.

Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Mobile received a call from the Carnival cruise ship Holiday at approximately 5:30 p.m. requesting a medevac for a 75-year-old woman, who sustained a cut to her leg.
