Shuttle bus plows into group near Honolulu pier leaving 1 dead

One person was killed and several others were injured when a tour bus driver mistakenly pressed the brake pedal for the gas pedal at a cruise pier parking lot in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The fatal crash occurred at 10:24 a.m. local time Friday, according to Honolulu Emergency Medical Services and the Honolulu Police Department.

Authorities said the 57-year-old male driver was dropping off passengers at a cruise port pier when a bystander alerted him that the vehicle was moving forward.

The man immediately reacted, jumped onto the shuttle bus and attempted to stop the vehicle in progress.
