High powered boat crashes onto shore, over beach and into Florida restaurant - NOT alcohol related ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ **ARRESTED




Yesterday afternoon (Monday, February 23rd, 2015) the fog was thick in Ruskin, Florida (that's in Hillsborough County, on the coast just west of Tampa)...



But apparently the thick fog did not stop the skipper of a 39-foot SeaVee with quad 300 horsepower Mercury motors from cruising at 40-50 mph....





Unfortunately for the skipper and his six (6) passengers it seems that he didn't see the coastline and gliding right up onto it, running aground in Little Harbor, hitting the front of the Sunset Grille.  





After crossing the beach, the hull splintered the outside of the venue and ended up inside the restaurant.  Miraculously no one on the beach or inside the Grille was injured, and only one of the seven (7) aboard was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.




Witnesses from Pennsylvania and Minnesota could not see the boat ride up on shore but were close enough to hear the event.... and anyone who knows boats knows the unique sound that an outboard motor makes when its running, especially at high rev, outside of the water (then multiply that by four (4) and, well, imagine the startling that caused).  I imagine that their vacation will be memorable.


  

The silver lining for the skipper is that cops have affirmatively stated that they do NOT suspect that either alcohol or controlled substances were a factor and they blame fog as being the primary contributing factor in this accident.
