Saw one like that happen about 20 yrs ago up at Leatherwood (Tennessee) Man had new Blazer and new Ranger
Bass boat - backed it down, handed wife the rope to hold boat when it come off trailer - forgot to unhook tie down
straps in back - wouldn't come off trailer - got in boat and started engine - get off trailer with straps still on.
Truck (Blazer) jumped out of gear of hand brake released - boat- trailer- & truck all went in water about 30 ft deep,
with headlights on. Owner had to swim to dock when it all went down.
Had to have diver come hook chains to truck to get pulled out and than wreckered home to Nashville
When pulling the "big o" have to remember that i have long piece on back of truck - can't cut curbs short or
ramps........from front bumper to engine - 48 ft - 3 in........Love that long tongue on trailer, saves them tail
lights on truck 134.50 each (untll i got my head under control - had gone through 3 tail lights on right side)
