A ferry with about 45 people on board was ushering families to and from a sand sculpting competition in Clearwater, Florida, on Sunday when it was involved in a terrible hit-and-run crash.

The incident happened around 8:40 p.m. near the Clearwater memorial Causeway Bridge. Another boat came barreling toward the ferry and ignored a crew member’s desperate shouts, witnesses told reporters with CNN.

Good Samaritans with their own boats helped evacuate passengers from the “chaotic scene,” CNN reported Monday. Following the crash, the back of the boat appeared “shattered” and there was a “huge dent,” witnesses said.
