Transportation Safety Board to investigate dock collision on Toronto Island ferry

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada said it is deploying a “team of investigators” after a Toronto Island ferry crashed into a dock at Jack Layton Ferry Terminal on Saturday.

The collision happened Saturday afternoon when the Sam McBride ferry, carrying more than 900 passengers at the time, crashed into the dock.

There were 12 reported injuries, although they were all minor, paramedics said.

A spokesperson for Toronto Paramedics said five of those hurt were taken to hospital for treatment, but none of the injuries were deemed to be serious.

No one had fallen into the water, officials added.

The City of Toronto said as a result of the ferry docking incident, service between the Island and the terminal will be reduced for the rest of the summer, operating on a modified schedule.

“Passengers can expect much longer than usual wait times for the remainder of the summer,” the city said in a tweet on Sunday.

On Monday, the TSB said it would gather information and assess the occurrence.

The TSB is an independent agency that investigates air, marine, rail and pipeline transportation occurrences with the aim of advancing safety. It does not determine civil or criminal liability.
