Officials from the U.S. Virgin Islands in St Thomas report that a tourist bus carrying at least 13 cruise ship passengers has collided with a parked vehicle. The passengers, from Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas, collided with the parked car.
The accident occurred in an open-air "safari bus" on a steep road near the island's scenic Beacon Point.
St. Thomas Tourist Department spokeswoman Allegra Kean-Moorehead says one of the injured is a female passenger who had to be hospitalized with a hip fracture. Twelve other passengers were released after being treated.
She also said that Serenade of the Seas is still expected to depart late Friday without the injured passenger.
