#2 BUI Boating Accident
On May 1st, around 5:00pm, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office Marine Services Unit responded to a boating accident that occurred near the Steilacoom Ferry Dock. The initial report from the 911 call stated that a single occupant on a vessel appeared to be passed out while the boat was traveling at a high rate of speed. The caller reported the vessel had nearly collided with two Ferrys before colliding with a large rock embankment. A video capturing the incident shows a single occupant passed out in the boat while the boat is traveling at a high rate of speed with no operator. When the boat crashed, it came to rest in a vertical position against the rocks, while the operator was ejected from his seat and into the water. Seconds later, you see the operator climb out and onto the rocks.
When deputies arrived, a 21-year-old male had been pulled from the scene by West Pierce Fire and Rescue and personnel from Steilacoom Public Safety. Alcohol bottles could be seen littered throughout the boat, and the male smelled of intoxicants. There was reasonable suspicion of DUI, and the male was taken into custody for DUI. A flatbed tow and a large wrecker to remove the vessel from the water and rocks had to be called to the scene. The boat was removed and impounded.
