Seven bodies were pulled out of the Sava River and divers searched for five other missing people Friday after a group of kayakers smashed into a dam being built in southeastern Slovenia, AP quoted police as saying. Police spokesman, Pavel Perc, told reporters that two people managed to swim ashore after their boats broke up and capsized. Both were hospitalized; one was in critical condition, he said. The accident happened late Thursday, when the group, in two kayaks, apparently hit a dam under construction near Sevnica, a town 56 miles (90 kilometers) southeast of the capital of Ljubljana. The dam, part of a hydroelectric plant, is currently built only to about the height of the water.
