  • Four migrants died after being forced out of a speedboat off the coast of southern Spain, near Camposoto beach.
  • 31 other people, including six children, survived the incident; four were taken to a hospital.
  • The boat drivers, believed to be involved in human trafficking, escaped and have not been located despite police using drones in the search.
  • Eyewitnesses and local workers, including Javier Gonzalez, helped rescue the migrants; no police or marine rescue personnel were involved in the initial rescue.
  • The migrants were from unspecified North African countries; the route they took is not a common one for migration due to complicated sea conditions and high surveillance.
