How many people died during the collision?

Five people died, two were missing and at least 18 were injured on Wednesday when an Italian petrol vessel collided with a dingy filled with refugees crossing the Agiatic sea from Albania, authorities said. The victims were believed to be Albanians from either Albania or Kosovo, said authorities from Italy’s Tax Police Division, which, along with the coast guard, patrols the nation’s coast. The cause of the collision was not immediately known. Three Albanians believed to smuggle the refugees were arrested a few hours after the accident.
