The group was heading back to the shore when they noticed the mechanized boat and reportedly asked the driver to head towards it, which subsequently led to the collision. “Usually, visitors ask the drivers to take the speed boat close to the cruiser boat so that they can take pictures against the background of the latter,” another official explained.
