Out-of-control Canary Islands ferry smashes into harbour wall in terrifying accident

An out-of-control ferry with 140 people on board - including Brits - has been filmed smashing into a harbour wall.

Thirteen people were injured in the incident last night as the ship left the port of Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands, heading for Tenerife.

The Naviera Armas ferry suffered electrical failure minutes after departure and the crew tried to return but were unable to control its path.
