Vehicle Incident in Spain on August 18 2019 06:01 AM (UTC).


A passenger ferry with nearly 400 people onboard has been evacuated after running aground in a Costa Blanca port. Spanish coastguards and Civil Guards helped get passengers to safety after the drama in the port of Denia just before midnight.

The packed ship, a Balearia ferry taking holidaymakers from Majorca and Ibiza to Denia, is understood to have run aground after scraping the harbor wall as it prepared to dock. Passengers who had been traveling with cars had to leave them on board and were given the option of being bussed to the nearby cities of Valencia or Alicante with stops on the way.
