A 30-foot cabin cruiser lost control on Okanagan Lake last night, smashing into the Kiwanis Walking pier.
Witnesses said the boat became airborne before it crashed. The driver took a Breathalyzer test and blew right on the legal limit.
Six people were sitting on a bench at the end of the pier and had to scramble to safety when they saw the boat coming. They were not hurt.
There were two people on the boat, a man and a woman in their 40’s. The woman suffered minor injuries, but the man was not hurt.
Police are bringing in a barge to tow the boat away, after they empty the fuel tank.
The pier remains closed for now.
Two more photos of the incident.
