Ferry service between Campbell River and Quadra Island was disrupted Friday evening after one of the newest vessels in the BC Ferries fleet slammed into the terminal on Quadra Island.
Kerri Smith works in Quathiaski Cove on Quadra where the ferry docks and says she heard a loud noise around 5:10 p.m. as the ferry was arriving on the island.
She’s not sure if anyone was injured aboard the Island K’ulut’a, but has heard from other islanders about the experience.Norm Bunz was at the dock with his grandson waiting for his daughter to come off of the vessel and heard the impact as well. Smith says the passengers and vehicles were able to unload from the vessel, but regular traffic on the route was suspended by BC Ferries and a water taxi was brought in to handle foot traffic as a replacement.
