There’s been another Ride the Ducks crash in Seattle – but this time it appears to be minor.

Traffic cameras and tweeted photos showed a Ride the Ducks vehicle collided with a passenger car.

The crash happened at 5th Avenue North and Mercer Street about 3 p.m. Thursday.

The Seattle Fire Department tweeted that there were no injuries.

It wasn’t immediately known how many people were in the vehicles. Nor was it clear who was at fault.

Last September, a Ride the Ducks vehicle crashed on the Aurora Bridge, killing five students from North Seattle College.

State officials shut down the the tour operation, and eventually the company admitted to more than 460 motor safety violations.

The Utilities and Transportation Commission has proposed a $222,000 fine against the company, which is also facing lawsuits.

The company resumed operations in Seattle in mid-January.
