Most victims in migrant boat collision in Greece had severe head injuries, diver says

Migration Greece Collision - (Politischios.gr)

A diver who helped recover bodies from a deadly collision between a boat carrying migrants and a Greek coast guard vessel said Friday that most of the 15 people who died had suffered severe head injuries, as questions mounted over the circumstances of the incident.

A search and rescue operation was still underway Friday for potentially missing people three days after the collision off the coast of the eastern Aegean island of Chios. Fifteen people were killed and 26 injured, including 11 children and two coast guard officers. The total number of people on board the small speedboat remains unclear.
