One Injured as Yacht and Rib Collide Near Ischia Island

One person was injured as a yacht reported to be over twenty meters in length and a rib-cruiser of twelve meters collided near the Castello Aragonesi area on the island of Ischia, on the morning of Monday 29 June.   The Guardia Costiera of Ischia and Port Captaincy responded to the accident, taking the injured boater to Ischia island to be assisted by the 118 emergency crew.  Following this the coast guard also towed the rib-cruiser which seemed to be the one suffering the most from the collusion.  The cause of the accident are not fully reported, with some news reporting that the yacht crushed the rib on the collision, damaging it heavily on its port side.
The rib-cruiser in this accident is a Solemar 44 Oceanic as produced in the noughties.  We have no news of the yacht involved in the collision.
