Accident on Lake Maggiore, near the Municipality of Ranco in the province of Varese.

A speedboat carrying seven people collided at around 6.30 pm with a rubber dinghy on which there were two other people.

Seven people were injured, none seriously. Five people ended up in the water, including two children.

A 14-year-old was transported by helicopter to the San Gerardo hospital in Monza for hand injuries caused by the propeller of one of the two boats. Three children were instead transferred in yellow code to the Filippo Del Ponte hospital in Varese.

They investigate the Carabinieri of Gallarate (Varese) and the Coast Guard of Lesa (Novara). The two boats were made available to the judicial authority.
