Oh no! Are we going to discuss the inertial outcomes at +/- 45mph?

Maybe the trucks tail lights were not working.Sadly,it looks sort of like the Littlefield reconstruction.

I wonder if he hit the pole and the resultant mess happened

OR

He started to stop for the light, the boat started to shift forward because it wasn't tied down, he saw the boat moving, panicked, and hit the pole making it worse.

The trailer looks a little skimpy for the size of the boat.

I used to have a 19' Maxum, which was made by US Marine - the same company that makes Bayliners. It came on the same single axle trailer shown in the pictures above (Escort if I recall). It didn't have any brakes, either...

That Bayliner looks to be a 19- or 20-footer and I'm sure that trailer was more than likely part of the original package when sold.
