Cruise passenger dies after shuttle bus crash
One woman has died and 10 others were injured after a shuttle bus crashed into the transportation area outside a Honolulu cruise terminal Friday, according to police.
The ship, Carnival Miracle, was on a 15-day journey, departing Long Beach, California, on April 6, according to Carnival Cruise Line. Nine of the people hit by the vehicle were cruise ship passengers.
“Sadly, one guest has died from her injuries. She was traveling with her husband, who was also injured and is expected to recover. Members of the Carnival Care Team are assisting the guests. Our thoughts are with the guests affected and their loved ones,” Carnival Cruise Line said in a statement to ABC News.
A 57-year-old man was dropping off customers at pier 2 when a bystander told him that his vehicle was moving forward. He then jumped into the drivers seat, trying to stop the vehicle, but he accidentally pressed the gas pedal instead of the brakes, colliding with two concrete barriers and eleven pedestrians, according to the Honolulu Police Department.
Five pedestrians were transported to the hospital — one of whom was later pronounced dead and four others are in good condition. Six other pedestrians refused treatment on the scene, police said.
According to police, speed does not appear to be a contributing factor in the collision and it is unknown if drugs or alcohol were contributing factors.
The investigation is ongoing.
