In an unexpected turn of events, a 30-foot boat rolled into traffic at the intersection of Cambridge and Third Streets in Cambridge on Saturday evening. According to the Cambridge Police Department, the driver had stopped for a red light but then accelerated through the intersection, causing the safety chains that attached the boat to the vehicle to fail. This resulted in the boat sliding off its trailer and onto the road, blocking traffic. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident.
Images shared by the police department on social media show the boat stranded in the middle of a lane, with cars having to navigate around it. The event led to the temporary closure of Cambridge and Third streets to allow for the removal of the boat from the road.
Despite the unusual sight and inconvenience caused to drivers, the situation was resolved without any major repercussions. While the incident may have caused some delays and confusion, it served as a reminder of the unexpected events that can occur on city streets. As authorities worked to clear the road and return traffic to normal, the situation was quickly resolved, allowing the community to carry on with their evening activities.
