Two people have died and five are missing after a boat collision on the River Danube, Hungarian police have said.
Officers arrested a man found with a bleeding head on the shore near Veroce, about 30 miles (48km) north of Budapest, on Saturday night.
Police believe he’s a survivor from the incident after the bodies of a man and woman were found nearby.
A hotel boat with a damaged hull was stopped more than 50 miles (80km) upriver, at Komarom.
Hungarian news site Blikk reported it was 109m long and had collided with a motorboat. It said the hotel ship probably travelled up from Budapest.
Criminal proceedings have begun against an unnamed individual on suspicion of causing death and endangering water transportation.
The search for the five missing people is continuing using boats, drones and thermal imaging cameras, Blikk reported.
It comes five years after 28 people – mainly South Korean tourists – were killed in Budapest when a boat hit a smaller tourist vessel, causing it to sink in seconds.
The captain was found guilty of negligence and sentenced to five and a half years in prison.
