This hit the WMUR news this morning. Not much info. Driver was a 58 year old man from Carlisle(?) Mass. who supposedly struck a moored boat and then caromed onto the breakwater.

I called horse crap on that. I will bet anybody right now he was drunk as a skunk and I'll put a hundred dollar bill on this bet. Any takers??

Or maybe he's just blind at night like me. That's why I don't boat at night anymore unless it's a full moon lit night.

Default We'll find out someday...

There are some things that add t the confusion.
Impaired or not, the events could have happened described by WMUR.
My questions:
1. There's a boat at the dock. Was anybody home, heard the crash and reacted?
2. The accident was Friday night but not reported until Saturday am, right? Where did the driver spend the night? Is he a Lockes Island resident? He walked home?

All sorts of speculation suggested and then deleted. I'll be patient and wait for more official info.

OK, then this should be an EASY C note for you. Am I to assume you are taking my bet?

Where did you see me taking your bet?

Just pointing out that with no facts you jumped to the conclusion that the driver was drunk.

Night time/boat crash/no way a slow speed put him up there. COMMON SENSE. I'll give you 2:1 odds. Quack like a duck..it's A duck. Kick like a mule it's a mule.. 1+1=2. Alcohol was a factor. So now I'm assuming you are not taking the bet, that's good I believe you just saved yourself $100

Agreed. I would NOT take that bet... Even without all the facts, you have to consider the percentages of these accidents that DO involve alcohol. Probably in the 90%+ range. Only a FOOL would take your bet!! What about leaving the scene of an accident. Pretty serious crime in a vehicle, does that translate to a boat accident...??? I would say the probability of this guy being drunk is about the same as Jefferey Epstein being murdered, 90%+... Will we ever find out the truth to either???

Leaving the scene should be a big deal. But it will all depend on how many attorneys he has.
