A serious accident occurred this afternoon in the sea in front of the Su Giudeu beach, in Chia, a seaside resort of Domus de Maria.

A woman was struck by a small boat carrying about ten Algerian migrants while bathing. She reportedly suffered multiple injuries.

The air ambulance landed on the beach for first aid , and then took off again after the rescue. The severity of the woman's injuries is currently unknown, and the exact circumstances of the incident are under investigation.

It's also unclear whether the boat's pilot noticed the accident. The vessel continued sailing, and the migrants disembarked in the town of Tuerredda, where they were stopped by the Carabinieri for identification.
