Oops! Boat crashes through fence @ McNamara!
Both the wall and the boat sustained damages as the wall was left with a gaping hole, while the boat bottom and side were damaged, according to eyewitnesses.
It is not clear how the freak accident occurred, but no one was reported injured. Moments after the accident, the boat handlers were able to remove the boat from the location as it had found a new temporary home in the resident's yard adjacent to Sea View Hotel.
Both the truck driver that was pulling the trailer and others around were mum as to what really happened.
Perhaps the boat was sending a message that she no longer wanted to return to the water, but stay on land!

Boat on trailer not hitched down (dat not BVI manly), trailer on truck no safety chains and probably wrong size ball hitch (too small ball), and then truck going too fast for pot holes and corner. Trailer comes off ball on a bump, trailer hits wall & stops & boat, not hitched down continues!! Good thing there were not people in boat as I have often seen. One more incident of not obeying law. Will police arrest? Will owner & driver be prosecuted (doubt it)? Will wall be paid for?
