Migrant boat smashes into swimmer, 17, in sea, breaking multiple bones - and doesn't stop to help. A 17-year-old tourist has been left seriously injured after a speeding migrant boat ploughed into her while she was swimming off Sardinia's coast. The small boat was carrying 14 migrants when it struck the girl around 200m off Su Giudeu Beach in Sardinia, Italy, on August 16. Beachgoers rushed to her aid before she was airlifted to a hospital in nearby Cagliari, where she was admitted to intensive care in a serious condition. A 28-year-old Algerian man, who was allegedly at the helm of the boat, has been arrested on suspicion of facilitating illegal immigration and causing extremely serious bodily injuries. Following the collision, the fibreglass vessel, powered by an 85-horsepower outboard motor, continued towards Tuerredda Beach. The passengers allegedly got off after reaching the coast and attempted to flee on foot. Police later tracked down the entire group, consisting of undocumented adult men believed to be Algerian nationals. The alleged driver has been taken to prison in Uta while the investigation continues. https://mol.im/a/16078001 Thank goodness they weren’t in the Channel because the RNLI taxi service would have escorted them to Dover
