A Heartbreaking Situation

One guest who was on the ferryboat described the aftermath, saying, “There were stretchers, people fell, young and old, including my cousin.”

Another passenger, still shaken by the event, shared, “I was on this boat, it was terrifying. There were definitely injuries including my mom and my brother.” A third guest who was part of a group involved in the crash stated, “Not true. Lots of injuries. We are here now and part of our party is at the hospital.”

Following the incident, emergency medical personnel were quickly dispatched to the scene, where they treated several passengers. Some of the injured were reportedly taken to nearby hospitals for further care. The full extent of the injuries is unclear at this time, though some guests mentioned that both children and adults were impacted by the collision.

Although Disney has yet to issue a formal statement about the cause of the crash, it is likely that an investigation will be conducted to determine if any mechanical failure or operator error played a role. The ferryboat service, which is one of the primary modes of transportation for park guests, is widely regarded for its reliability, so this rare accident has left many visitors concerned about the safety of theme park transport.
