How did the boat collision in Namangan that killed a sister happen?

It turns out that local entrepreneurs have established recreation areas and boat tours on the banks of the Syrdarya River, which flows through part of the Turakurgan district.

Three of the 10 boats involved in the accident on August 23 were involved.

**"There were 6 women on my boat..."**

According to Nurmuhammad Habibullayev, a boat driver who is currently being treated in the hospital: "That day, I took six women on my boat. The women said, 'Drive slowly, there are elderly people among us, they are afraid,' so I drove slowly. While I was moving, two boats passed in front of me, I gave way to them. Then, while I was moving slowly, another boat came from my left and hit my people... If it had hit from the side, there should not have been a fatal accident. I studied in Tashkent and received a special certificate to drive a boat."

**The boats have been suspended**

A witness to the incident, Abdulla Abdumannonov, says: "On August 23, after the 10th, there was a commotion on the river. I saw that two boats had collided. People went into the water to help those who had been in trouble. There were no drownings - those who got into the boats are usually given life jackets, everyone had a "vest". After this incident, all the boats were towed, that is, they were taken out of the water. An unexpected accident occurred, and the sisters who had come to rest died."

**"My son has been a boat driver for 8 years"**

"We started a business on the riverbank. That day, my son was taking his customers on his boat and driving them upstream. Another boat broke down under the bridge. While they were trying to tow the broken boat away, the boat my son was driving suddenly came from upstream. This caused a collision."
