A video has emerged showing a boat crashing into a smaller fishing vessel – and the people onboard having to jump off to save their lives.
Footage, reportedly shot on action cameras called GoPros, has surfaced online.
The trio fishing can be seen casting lines into the water and laughing with one another as the other boat appears on the horizon.
Coming at some speed, the other boat catches the attention of one man who stands on the lip of the boat and waves his arms.
He shouts and waves his arms trying to get the attention of whoever is at the helm of the other ship.
Despite his efforts, the other boat doesn’t seem to see the smaller fishing vessel.
The other members of the fishing crew start to panic and one grabs onto the other for reassurance.
All three jump out of the boat before the fast-moving ship makes contact.
Cameras on the fishing boat show the crash as it happens – thankfully all three members of the fishing group jump overboard and save their lives.
The crash was reported in the local news.
The Oregon Live paper has reported one of the men in the fishing boat was an off-duty police officer.
There has been a law suit filed against the man driving the larger motorboat. The case is still ongoing.
