VIDEOS: The City of Clearwater said one person has died and multiple injuries have been reported following a boat crash near the Memorial Causeway bridge. ABC Action News spoke with Clearwater Mayor Bruce Rector, who said the Clearwater Ferry was in a collision with a privately owned boat. The ferry can carry 50 people. “We believe the boat responsible for hitting the ferry left the scene immediately and we believe our law enforcement partners are at another location with that boat right now, but we are still asking anybody who has information, anyone that witnessed anything, anyone that may have any video, to contact us,” said Rob Shaw with the City of Clearwater. According to Shaw, 45 people were on board the ferry at the time of the crash, including two crew members.
