A Ride the Ducks driver was issued a ticket after their massive vehicle drove onto the rear end of a small sedan.
The amphibious vehicle collided with the small car at 5th Avenue and Pine Street around 6 p.m. Thursday. KIRO 7 reports that the driver received a ticket for the collision.

A tweet from @EmmaMayberry, who witnessed the incident, notes that the Duck didn’t see the car that was parked ahead of it; the driver was attempting to get out of the way of an oncoming ambulance.
The collision comes just over two months after another collision involving a Ducks vehicle and a small car. Many have been watching the tour company since a tragic crash in September 2015 killed five people and injured many more. Ride the Ducks was allowed to begin tours again in January.
