Runaway Boat

The Guardia Civil maritime service has chased and brought to a halt an out-of-control speed boat, which had no one on board. A force spokesman explained that the owner had fallen into the sea as he was towing an inflatable with three children seated on it. The boat then continued its course at a high speed off the beach in El Campello, presenting a ‘real danger’ to anyone who was swimming in the sea or taking part in watersports.
