OUT OF CONTROL: A cruise ship in Venice lost control, crashing into a dock and colliding with a river boat that was moored there. At least five people were injured in the collision.
An out-of-control cruise ship in Italy crashed into a dock and tourist boat on a busy Venice canal Sunday, injuring multiple people.
As the ship pulled in, accompanied by tugboats, it collided with the dock at San Basilio and a river boat that was moored there, said Alyssa Goldfarb, director of public relations for MSC Cruises. Passengers aboard the MSC Opera cruise ship evacuated quickly, according to the local paper. At least five people were injured, The Associated Press reported.
The ship was later moved to the Marittima terminal, as planned, where it will carry out passenger boarding and disembarking, Goldfarb said. Officials are investigating the cause of the crash, she added.
