One person has died and multiple others were injured after a recreational boat collided with a ferry carrying 45 people in Clearwater, Florida, police told CNN. The recreational boat fled the scene, but has been identified by another law enforcement agency, according to Rob Shaw, a public information officer for the Clearwater police. Police said earlier that six people were declared as “trauma alerts,” two of whom were transported from the scene by helicopter and considered “seriously injured.” Shaw said one of the injured later died from injuries sustained in the collision. “It’s been declared a mass casualty incident by the fire department due to the number of injuries,” police said. Police were notified around 8:40 p.m. local time that a boat had struck the ferry near the Clearwater Memorial Causeway Bridge, according to police. Responding officers arrived to find a “chaotic scene,” Shaw told CNN affiliate Bay News 9, with “good samaritans” using their boats to help evacuate passengers.
