Four people have died after a boat carrying more than 20 passengers including tourists sank in strong winds on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy.
The bodies of four people have been recovered from Lake Maggiore in northern Italy after a tourist boat capsized.
The boat was carrying 21 passengers when it capsized in strong winds on Sunday afternoon.
Four people have been confirmed dead, including two Italian intelligence officers, a British woman, and a German tourist.
The British woman has been named as Adrienne Vaughan, 45, from Essex. Her husband and the skipper of the boat were injured in the accident.
The boat was rented from a company called Rent a Boat, and was being used for a private tour of the lake.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but it is believed that the strong winds may have caused the boat to capsize.
Firefighters and rescue workers have been searching the lake for any survivors, but no one else has been found.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety of tourist boats on Lake Maggiore.
Lake Maggiore is a popular tourist destination, and is known for its beautiful scenery and its many islands.
However, the lake can also be dangerous, and there have been a number of accidents in recent years.
In 2018, a boat carrying 28 people capsized on the lake, killing 11 people.
In 2016, a boat carrying 10 people capsized on the lake, killing four people.
The Italian authorities are investigating the accident and have ordered all tourist boats on Lake Maggiore to undergo safety checks.
