- Six cars, a truck and a Greyhound bus plunged into the water, killing 35 people. The visibility was low and it was raining as a harbor pilot guided the ship after a storm knocked out the radar. The 19,734-ton Summit Venture crashed into the bridge just after 7:30 a.m. Twenty-six of the people killed were on the Greyhound bus.
