The son called the father and asked for help after the incident, and when the father arrived, he found the son with cut injuries in the shoulder, drifting in an inflatable boat that took in water. The engine had been torn off, writes The Friend of the Fatherland.
The incident itself took place late Thursday night, but the newspaper does not cover the case until Sunday night.
– It was a large rib that came from Lillesand, and they had the opposite course of my son. They just looked at him stupidly after the collision, and then they ran away, says his father, Rune Larsen, to the newspaper.
There was a man and a woman in the boat, which was black with a white underside and a white engine. A boat that fits the description has been found, but Larsen has not come into contact with the owners.
The police in Agder confirm that there is a lot of traffic at sea this year, also compared to the record year last year.
The four lifeboats along the Agder coast have so far this summer had 227 missions in the period 1 July to 20 July, compared to 190 missions in the same period last year.
