The Ferry can only hold up to three cars at a time. When it was loading cars, the mini van was first in line and a Mercedes right behind it. The driver of the Mercedes said that the clutch was stuck and it rammed into the minivan, forcing it overboard with a family of four, two of them toddlers, visiting from Taiwan. Luckily no one was hurt or killed and everyone made it to safety. No files were charged against the driver of the Mercedes.
