The accident was due to a steering wheel failure and the captain was unable to avoid the collision, the Coast Guard said. The impact injured 28 people, three of them seriously, although no one is in a life-threatening condition.
Among the injured was a few months old girl who injured her head in the collision. The baby was immediately taken to hospital for a check-up, authorities said.
