A Golden Gate Ferry carrying 53 passenger crashed into an outer berth and dock Friday afternoon at the San Francisco Ferry Building, officials said.
Two people who were onboard the M.S. San Francisco reported minor injuries and authorities are investigating the incident.
"We are taking this incident very seriously," said Priya Clemens, spokesperson for the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District. "We're glad no one was seriously injured, but this type of incident on our ferry service is highly unusual."
The vessel captain and crew are cooperating with the investigation and are undergoing drug and alcohol testing, officials said. The investigation will also review analysis of data from the ferry's onboard control systems.
A video taken by a visitor shows the ferry crashing into a railing near Gate B. The video also shows people watching as the ferry made a hard landing on the dock. Many were taking cell phone video as it came to a stop.
No other information was immediately available.
