One person was killed, and several others were injured after a tour bus driver mistakenly pressed down on the gas instead of the brakes at a cruise pier parking lot in Honolulu, Hawaii.

According to the Honolulu Emergency Medical Services and the Honolulu Police Department, the fatal accident happened on Friday at 10:24 a.m. local time.

Authorities said a 57-year-old male motorist was dropping customers off at the cruise port’s pier and was alerted by a bystander that his vehicle was moving forward.

Reacting quickly, the man jumped back into the shuttle bus and attempted to stop the moving vehicle.
