toward beachgoers in North Wildwood, running aground and causing some scary
moments.
The
accident happened Tuesday afternoon
on 12th Street Beach.
Witnesses saw what was happening and got out of the
way. One family was visiting the Jersey Shore for the first time, and they
certainly won't forget what happened.
"It actually happened in really slow motion
although, it happened rather quickly,” says witness Erin
Preiser. “We kept thinking
the boat's not stopping. It's coming full speed straight toward us."
"People were running away, running to grab
their children, my little sister was near the beach so I took off to go grab
her to make sure she was OK,” says witness Christian Presier. “People just kind
of backed away then converged right on it."
There were no injuries to report.
