Five people lost their lives and one woman was critically injured after a high-speed migrant boat collided with a Turkish coast guard vessel off the Badavut coast in Ayvalık district, northwest Turkey, on Sunday.

According to the local governor’s office, the vessel was carrying 34 migrants and one suspected trafficker when the crash occurred. The impact threw several passengers into the sea, prompting an immediate search and rescue operation. While five bodies were recovered, one person remains missing, and efforts to locate them are ongoing.

The injured woman was transported to a nearby hospital for urgent treatment. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, led by the Ayvalık prosecutor’s office.

The Aegean Sea remains a perilous route for migrants attempting to reach Europe from North Africa and the Middle East, with overcrowded and unsafe vessels often leading to deadly accidents.
