A boat is stuck on the Holland south pier Thursday morning after crashing into it and throwing a teenage passenger into the rocky waters.

Ottawa County deputies tell FOX 17 it happened around 10:15 Wednesday night. A 69-year-old Holland man was driving with three passengers — 18-, 19- and 22-year-old women, also from Holland — when it happened.

The crash sent the 18-year-old into the rocks surrounding the pier, leaving her with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, say police.

She was rescued by another passenger and taken to the hospital after responders from the Park Township Fire Department and Ottawa County sheriff's deputies arrived.

Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the crash.
