Ferry passenger Jim Hancock speaks live with News1130's anchors Tammy Moyer and Jim BennieVANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - A pickup truck has been driven off the end of a dock and ramp and into the water at the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal near Victoria this afternoon.
The Coast Guard and a Medivac are now circling as they search for anyone in the water.
John Hancock is there and spoke live on News1130. "The vehicle [was] accelerating and the next thing you know, a loud bang, it broke through whatever the barrier was there... and sped up over the upper ramp, disappeared over the top, and the next thing I hear, from radio to radio with two BC Ferries staff, was that the truck has plunged into the water."
News1130's Rob Freeman was on the Queen of New Westminster where other passengers say it looked intentional. "They were telling me this person.. just gaining speed coming toward the dock. No ferry there to catch them, and they just went right off the edge of the dock and splashed down, and the truck didn't waste much time in sinking."
Divers have just arrived. It's not clear if anyone was hurt.
