British holidaymakers are thought to be among at least 25 people hurt when a tourist catamaran crashed into a jetty on the Greek island of Kos.
Five were seriously injured on board the Turkish-flagged Aegean Cat which was sailing to the Greek island from the Turkish town of Didim with more than 200 passengers on board.
The deputy mayor of Kos David Gerasklis said the vessel may have suffered a mechanical failure.
It had attempted to dock once, then “returned with greater force and crashed into the dock for a second time,” he told the Associated Press news agency.
“Some of the passengers apparently got up to see what happened, and they were injured in the second crash.” The injured had been taken to hospital while the remaining passengers had disembarked safely, he added.
