Boat Capsizes on Grande River in Brazil, Killing Six
(MENAFN) At least six people, including a five-year-old boy, died in a boat accident Saturday night on the Grande River in southeastern Brazil, according to reports citing authorities.
The vessel, carrying 15 passengers, had left a floating bar where a show was taking place and was headed to a residence along the riverbank, the fire department said.
Witnesses reported that the boat collided with a poorly marked pier that lacked adequate lighting, causing several people to be thrown into the water and others to become trapped after the vessel capsized.
Police confirmed that six individuals died at the scene, apparently from drowning. Three others were taken to a medical facility in Rifaina with minor injuries and later released.
The fire department noted that the boat’s driver, who was among those killed, did not possess the required license to operate the vessel.
