A driver lost his brakes and drove across the Dysart’s Marina dock in Southwest Harbor, Feb. 27. The vehicle went through the barricade to the water 20 feet below.
According to the Southwest Harbor Fire Department, the driver was able to quickly exit the truck and climb onto the dock with only a cut hand.
From the Southwest Harbor FD:
The front of the truck was resting on the low tide mud while the rear was on the dock. SWHFD layed out an absorbent boom for leaking fluids. Cody Seavey’s barge (Charles Bradley) responded and the crew lifted the truck onto the barge and transported it to the Manset Dock where it was loaded onto a DC Towing ramp truck. Although it was slippery from the wet snowfall, all responders went home safely!
