2024-02-19 EST 22:13:54

So far this year, we’ve seen a drawbridge and another into a river by a rising bridge. Clearly, Floridians and drawbridges don’t mix. Well now, we’ve got another run in between a drawbridge and the natives of Florida, but this time it was a boat that got in on the action.

According to a local news outlet, was sheltering under the section of roadway to get out of the rain. But, this was an area of the bridge with signs saying “Unauthorized personnel prohibited,” “” and “No trespassing, violators will be prosecuted.”

While the boat was sheltering from the storm, the moveable section of the bridge began to rise. The vessel got , which began crushing the roof of the boat and forced one side out of the water.

In a video of the whole ordeal, people in bathing suits are seen jumping off the boat as it is crushed beneath the machinery. Onlookers are heard shouting “get out of the boat, why are they still in there?”

Another voice says “where’s the dog? Is there another dog?” And that is a question I need an answer to ASAP.

Reports aren’t clear if there were any injuries as a result of the incident.

According to , “a Palm Beach County spokesperson said the bridge tender was unaware that the boat was underneath the bridge.”
