Beachgoers Scatter As Fishing Boat Runs Ashore In North Carolina

Would you rather see this or a shark coming at you in the ocean? Beachgoers in North Carolina had a scary interruption to their vacation when an out of control fishing boat ran ashore at Atlantic Beach. Video shows the fishing boat, which is moving with some pretty good speed, headed straight towards the shore as the crowd on the beach begins to scatter in case the boat makes its way onto the land. Luckily the vessel comes to a stop as it runs aground, and there weren't any swimmers in the water who were in the boat's path. But according to WNCT , at least seven people were on the boat at the time and two were taken to the hospital for minor injuries. The captain of the boat, Joseph Rivenbark, was reportedly given field sobriety tests by responders at the scene, and the owners were requested to remain on scene until investigators arrived. The cause of the accident is still under investigation by NC Wildlife, and a towboat later arrived to take the boat back out to sea. https://twitter.com/Cncortright/status/1804980564711145771
