Four people are reportedly missing and several others have been injured following a boating collision in waters near a Coast Guard base in Trinidad on Sunday evening.
According to preliminary reports, the incident occurred shortly after 6:00 p.m. when a speedboat collided with another vessel.
Several individuals reportedly sustained injuries during the collision and were taken to the St. James Medical Complex, where they are receiving medical attention. The number of injured persons and the severity of their injuries have not yet been confirmed.
Meanwhile, four individuals remain reportedly unaccounted for. Initial information indicates that the missing persons are three males and one female. Their identities and ages have not yet been established.
Among the allegations emerging from the incident is that a child, believed to be between 10 and 12 years old, was operating the speedboat under adult supervision when the collision occurred.
