A shuttle bus crashed into pedestrians at a Honolulu cruise ship terminal Friday killing one person and hurting several others.
The deadly crash unfolded when the bus operator mistook the gas pedal for the brake, authorities said.
The bus dropped off customers at Pier 2 and started moving uncontrollably forward, witnesses said.
