HORROR: 7 People Killed in Freak Accident After Ferry Dock in Georgia Collapses |
SHARE

A tragic incident occurred on Saturday when a ferry dock collapsed on Georgia’s Sapelo Island, resulting in the death of seven individuals. The dock collapse occurred as crowds gathered to celebrate the island’s Gullah-Geechee community, which consists of black slave descendants. Reports indicate that at least 20 people were on the dock at the time of the collapse, with multiple individuals being rushed to a nearby hospital. The exact condition of those injured is currently unknown.

Sapelo Island, located approximately 60 miles south of Savannah, became the site of a devastating event that has left the community in mourning. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp expressed his condolences and offered prayers for the victims and their families. In a tweet, Governor Kemp stated, “Marty, the girls, and I are heartbroken by today’s tragedy on Sapelo Island. As state and local first responders continue to work this active scene, we ask that all Georgians join us in praying for those lost, for those still in harm’s way, and for their families.”

According to a report by Fox5 Atlanta, the collapse of the ferry dock resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries. Authorities from various organizations, including the U.S. Coast Guard, McIntosh County Fire Department, and Georgia Department of Natural Resources, are actively involved in search and rescue efforts. Tyler Jones, a spokesperson for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, revealed that a gangway at the dock collapsed, causing individuals to fall into the water. The incident occurred during a celebration of the island’s Gullah-Geechee community, further adding to the tragedy of the situation.

As the search for individuals continues and the community grapples with the aftermath of this devastating event, our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their loved ones. The investigation into the cause of the dock collapse is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
