Princess Crashes into Kitriani Islet in Sifnos

On Thursday July fourth a freak accident happened in the Islet of Kitriani, south of the island of Sifnos in the Greek Aegean archipelago islands, as a 23 meter Princess sport yacht with seven passengers onboard, including a crew of three, crashed at sustained speeds head on into Kitriani, resulting in incredible bow damage, and hull under water sections being breached, resulting in her taking water.  One of the passengers sustained some head injuries, and along with four other passengers was taken for further check ups to a nearby hospital by a neighbouring yacht. 
The Princess in this collision is first generation V78 as designed by Bernard Olesinski and produced from 2009 till 2012, with the optional sport bridge choice as offered from 2011.  The Princess V78 was replaced by the S72, with a second generation S78 coming in 2017.
