Woman injured after boat accident at Disney
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- A woman was injured in a boating accident at Walt Disney World after her boat went under a Disney ferry.
According to an Orange County Sheriff's report, 61-year-old Barbara Wormald was treated for a collapsed lung, fractured ribs and back pain after becoming wedged between the vessels.
The report says Wormald and her husband rented a two seater boat Thursday near the Treehouse Villas.
Ferry boat captain William Green said he saw the boat driving recklessly and put the ferry in reverse upon impact.
Michael Wormald said he saw the ferry in the distance and thought it would move. As it approached, he turned quickly to avoid a crash, but the ferry ran onto the boat's passenger side and over his wife.
Charges are pending against Wormald. Disney declined comment.
