TSU, Japan – The navigator of a cargo ship that collided with a fishing boat in central Japan and left two people dead was arrested Saturday for professional negligence, a local coast guard office said.<\/p>\n

\n

Hanon Sugimoto, 21, has admitted that she was at the helm of the 499-ton, 71-meter cargo vessel at the time of the collision on Friday afternoon, according to the coast guard office in Toba, Mie Prefecture.<\/p>\n

She was alone on the bridge when the vessel with a crew of six, which was heading to the western Japan city of Kurashiki without any cargo, hit the side of the 16-ton fishing boat that was anchored with 13 people aboard, it said.<\/p>\n

An 84-year-old man and a 67-year-old man on the fishing boat, both from Matsusaka in Mie, drowned, while its captain and the 10 other passengers sustained injuries.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
