Toronto passenger ferry crashes at city terminal dock, injuring 17 people
Toronto police and Transport Canada are investigating a passenger ferry crash at the city’s terminal dock over the weekend that injured 17 people.
“The city’s top priority is to protect the safety of the public, passengers and staff by ensuring that our ferry vessels meet Transport Canada safety standards and have required certificates.” About 900 people were on board the vessel. Seventeen were injured as a result of the collision, police said. Of those, 12 were treated and released on scene. Five people, two of them children, were taken to hospital for further treatment.
The city is discouraging unnecessary vehicular transport by ferry and warning passengers that they should expect longer waiting times – a potential boon for local water-taxi services.
