Ferry crashes in Hyannis Harbor, injuring six
HYANNIS — Six people were injured, three of them seriously, when a high-speed ferry crashed into a jetty at the entrance to Hyannis Harbor Friday night, authorities said.
The Iyanough ferry was carrying 48 passengers and nine crew members from Nantucket to Hyannis when it struck the jetty and grounded on the rocks around 10 p.m., the US Coast Guard said.
One seriously injured passenger was airlifted off the stranded vessel, and then flown by helicopter to a hospital for treatment of undisclosed injuries, said Hyannis Fire Capt. Thomas Kenney.
Other injured passengers were treated onboard the ferry by paramedics and rescue crews that were able to reach the ferry, Kenney said.
