Ferry service to Toronto Island will be reduced for the rest of the summer following a weekend collision at the downtown terminal that injured a dozen people.

The City of Toronto’s parks department says one ferry has been taken out of service and other vessels will be operating at reduced capacity going forward.

Passengers are warned to brace for longer than usual wait times for the rest of summer.

Police say the crash happened at around 5 p.m. on Saturday as the boat approached the terminal with more than 900 people on board.

Twelve people sustained minor injuries and five were taken to hospital for treatment, though none of the injuries were deemed serious.

The cause of the crash was not immediately known.
