Wave-hit ferry checked for damage

French maritime authorities are investigating Brittany Ferries’ flagship which was hit by a 40ft (9m) freak wave in gale-force winds.
The Pont-Aven was struck in the Bay of Biscay as it travelled from Plymouth to Santander at 2232 BST on Sunday.
Five passengers and one crewmember were slightly injured as a window smashed and the ferry was diverted to Roscoff.
