There was a harrowing incident at the Wolfe Island ferry on Wednesday night, as witnesses say a passenger nearly plunged into the water and a dump truck almost went in too.
The ferry has had a rough few months due to a staffing shortage, and the ferry’s union says worker inexperience may have caused the mishap.
“As normal, the deck hands opened the gate, put the ramp down, the ramp hands signalled to go off,” says Berry. “I drove off the boat and as I drove off I heard a bang and felt the truck go down.” “Our members are all regular employees and who have gone through longer and more rigorous training than just two or three days of on the job training,” he explains.
