Collision between migrant speedboat, Greek coast guard vessel leaves at least 14 dead

A collision between a speedboat carrying migrants and a Greek coast guard patrol vessel off the eastern Aegean island of Chios has killed at least 14 people, the coast guard said late Tuesday, while a search and rescue operation involving patrol boats, a helicopter and divers was underway for potentially missing people. The coast guard said another 24 migrants were rescued and transported to a hospital on Chios, as were two coast guard officers who were injured in the incident. The coast guard said it was not immediately clear how many people had been on the speedboat, and a search and rescue operation involving four patrol vessels, an air force helicopter and a private boat carrying divers was underway for potentially missing passengers.
