Two Spaniards missing after Indonesian boat accident 'could be shipwrecked' on uninhabited island
TWO of the tourists missing after this week's Indonesian boat crash are Spanish – and may be alive and well, but shipwrecked on a remote island.
One of them has been named as Víctor García Montes, 43, from Sevilla, who works as a procurator in Madrid, and the other has been identified by his first name only, 'Jorge'.
Fishermen say they have seen two foreign tourists 'shipwrecked' on a beach in Bima, on the uninhabited volcanic island of Sangeang Pulo (pictured).
The men's relatives are expected to be flown out to Indonesia to join the search party now that the sea conditions have calmed down.
A wooden boat carrying 25 passengers, most of whom were tourists, sank between the islands of Lombok and Komodo on Saturday.
Rescuers found 10 of the people on board, who included five Spaniards and other holidaymakers of German, French, Dutch and British nationality.
