CHARLESTON, S.C. — A tour boat crossing the channel in a South Carolina harbor collided with a small Coast Guard boat, injuring three people.

The Coast Guard says the two boats collided Saturday just before 8:30 p.m. Petty Officer Cindy Beckert says the three who were hurt had minor injuries and were passengers on the tour boat.

The Coast Guard’s 25-foot boat wasn’t damaged and the 43-passenger tour boat had moderate damage.

Conditions at the time of the incident were clear with winds at 10 to 15 mph.

Authorities are investigating the accident.
