(SAN FRANCISCO) – The Coast Guard investigated why a ferry crashed twice on the docks of San Francisco's famous Ferry Building, slightly injuring two people on board.
US Coast Guard spokesman Chris Shih said investigators are investigating mechanical problems and other factors that led to Friday's crash. The agency regularly inspects ferries.
A spokesman for the Golden Gate Ferry said the boat was coming from Larkspur and was carrying 53 passengers when it hit a spot on the outside before hitting another dock.
The hull of the ship was damaged when it hit the concrete walkway and struck a railing. According to the Coast Guard, two minor injuries did not require treatment after first aid.
According to witness Tiffany Dennis, the crash triggered panic among a crowd of people having dinner and shopping on the waterfront.
