The accident occurred about 300 meters from Bergkvara harbor in Torsås municipality at half past two on Friday afternoon.

- The motor boat that has gone on the ground takes in water. It is a large motor boat, eleven times four meters and it has 800 liters of gasoline, says Linda Åkesson, alarm operator at TLC, the Security and Alarm Center in Kalmar.

Ambulance has been sent to the scene

At least two people were on the boat when the accident occurred. It is currently unclear if anyone has been injured, but an ambulance has been sent to the scene.

- Right now they are working on getting the crew into the harbor, so we have not received any information about how the accident happened, says Linda Åkesson.

The Sea Rescue and Rescue Service from Torsås are on site.

- They should now try to salvage the boat so that the gasoline does not leak.
