Cuba Calls Migrant Boat Crash An Accident

CUBA – Cuba has denied that its coast guard vessel was to blame for a collision with a migrant-packed boat that led to the deaths of seven people, including a two-year-old girl, saying the migrant boat made an abrupt turn in heavy swells that caused the crash.

The boat was headed to the United States when it flipped over in October after the crash about two hours from the capital of Havana.
