One person has died and multiple others were seriously injured after a boat crash in the city of Clearwater, Florida, police have said.

The Clearwater Ferry, which had 45 people on board, including two crew members, was struck by a boat which then left the scene. The boat was later identified by another law enforcement agency, Clearwater government officials said.

The fire department declared a mass casualty event because of the “number and severity of injuries”. Two of the injured were transported to hospital via helicopter.

All of the injuries were from the ferry, which came to rest on a sandbar.

Police responded at 20:43 local time on Sunday (00:43 GMT on Monday).
