Saw this while out fishing this morning on Beaver Lake here in NW Ark. Must have happened last night. Looks like it drove it straight in. Notice the glass and parts on

the ledge above it. Busted chairs, some blood, not a pretty scene. Nothing on the local news about it so far. The lake is full of huge rock bluffs like that, some tower

100's of feet over the water. Never seen anyone hit one before, though.

Wow.

Good bit of damage too!!

Hope everyone is ok.

I hope so too, but judging by the looks of it, probably not.

wow whoever it was hit the wall pretty hard. keep us updated if you hear anything on the news about it.

d**n I don't understand how you crash into a wall on the water in a boat

Wonder if alcohol was involved.

We had 2 incidents locally this past weekend. During a tourney, a guy flipped a brand spankin new 60k Ranger on my home lake in an area called the washtub. A stretch of river abut 150 yards wide with tons of boat traffic and no speed limit. The water hits the seawalls and bounces back and forth causing waves hitting you from 360 degrees. Another incident on Lake Michigan, a 47 foot yacht hit a breakwall (cement and stone walls used to prevent wave from crashing on the shore) causing a coast guard rescue and the captain was cited with DUI. http://www.wgntv.com/news/wgntv-7-rescued-after-boat-hits-breakwall-near-calumet-beach-20120625,0,2064637.story

Wow, they must have been cruising pretty fast to cause that much damage to that boat. Wonder if it was dark out? It's amazing how hard those big walls can be to see when it's dark, they almost look like a bank of clouds in the dark. That's not a forgiving structure to crash into for sure!

Were there any bodies on the bottom? Hitting a wall of rock head on ain't good.

Hope they are ok!

On a lighter note.....did you flip a jig in around the boat? Looks like some good cover

It's a party boat, not a Bass boat, so you can pretty much guarantee that alcohol was involved.

Nobody was hurt too badly, it seems. Sure were lucky!

No, too afraid I'd pull up a body.

Had something like that happen years ago on Bull Shoals. A boat was flying along at night, and the driver didn't know that there was a bend in the lake. I don't remember if anyone was hurt or not.

Definatly good news to see all were released, by the way good job sending the pics in and thanx for the update.

Wow.. That's a hard way to find out a boat doesn't have brakes. Glad they weren't hurt too badly.

Just about as lucky as four people can be at the same time.

That's not true, mine breaks all the time, oh sorry, "brakes" all the time.

Wow! I must have missed this on the news. What bluff is that on? Horshoe Bend?

On the Coose Hollow side of the point between that cove and PC Marina.

That's horrible! Glad to hear they were ok

Just imagine if somebody was riding in those seats in the bow of the boat. WIth 4 people aboard, I bet somebody was up there. If I weren't the driver, that's where I would be.
