At least five people were still missing on 9 November after two boats collided off Trinidad’s north-western peninsula on the evening of 8 November. The Hunters Search and Rescue Team said crews spent much of Monday searching for those unaccounted for.

The Coast Guard said rescued passengers were taken to hospital. Boat captain Jonathan Salandy described how he and his crew pulled survivors from the water and threw life jackets to others. The accounts do not establish the cause of the collision.
