The investigation is armored by the Tempio Pausania Public Prosecutor's Office, but from the first findings it would seem that the yacht that last night ended up against the rocks of the islet of the Rocche, in the waters of the Gulf of Pevero, was proceeding at high speed, following a parallel route. to that of another boat that flanked him a few meters away.
Suddenly, the commander of "Love" veered, then the impact.
One of the hypotheses is that the maneuver was carried out to avoid collision with another boat. But for now there are no confirmations.
Meanwhile, the conditions of the people injured in the accident are improving. One of them was discharged from the hospital, while three remain hospitalized, two in Olbia and one in Sassari in non-serious conditions. The owner, on the other hand, a 63-year-old German resident in Great Britain, died of a heart attack after first aid. His identity was not disclosed.
The mayday was launched at 20.50 from the motor yacht "Amore", a 21-meter boat flying the Italian flag, with seven people on board.
The investigations are conducted by the Coast Guard of the Olbia Maritime Directorate. An autopsy was ordered on the victim's body, which will be carried out in the next few days, while the boat is under seizure.
