The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating a ferry crash that occurred Friday afternoon at the San Francisco Ferry Building.
The vessel struck an outer berth and then the dock at the ferry building around 2:30 p.m. at the terminal along the San Francisco waterfront.
Two passengers suffered minor injuries.
Pohl is the Coast Guard Sector San Francisco’s Inspections Division branch chief.
One passenger suffered back injuries but refused treatment. Another passenger was treated at the scene for a bruised hip, Clemens said.
The ferry vessel’s crew was being debriefed Friday and will undergo drug and alcohol testing, which Clemens said is standard protocol during such incidents.
While Clemens said the cause of the crash appears to be mechanical, the investigation into the incident could take days.
