A tourist was injured in Zakynthos on Wednesday when a speedboat hit him while swimming, the Coast Guard said on Thursday.
The 51-year-old man, whose nationality was not revealed, was swimming at the popular Lagana beach when the accident happened.
The boat that hit him was driven by a 36-year-old foreign national. It was not clear is the driver was detained.
The tourist was first transferred to a private clinic and then to the island’s General Hospital for treatment where doctors said he sustained abrasions on his back.
The victim was reportedly passenger of a touristic boat.
The Port Authority in Zakinthos is conducting an inquiry.
It is just like with cars: the horse powers go up but there is an inverse relationship with the IQ of the drivers.
