Dorsainville says all four were rescued by the Coast Guard, but two people in their 50s suffered injuries.
She says the woman’s life is not in danger.
Bruno Verreault, a spokesman for ferry operator the Société des traversiers du Quebec, says the collision took place as the ferry approached a dock in Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, Que.
The incident is being investigated by the Transportation Safety Board and Verreault says the ferry company will also conduct an internal probe.
