BELLFLOWER, Calif. () — A boat trailer came loose on the 91 Freeway on Sunday, jumping the median into oncoming traffic, and it was all caught on dashcam video.
“I’m driving, and I’m looking, and I’m like, ‘There is an expletive boat!'” said Cassandra Sorrell. “I had seconds to respond. I mean, it was surreal.”
Sorrell said she’s thankful she’s alive.
Her Tesla cameras captured the heart-stopping moment she narrowly missed the boat as she traveled westbound on the 91 Freeway around 5:30 p.m. in Bellflower.
“I braced myself very, very tightly for impact. I was certain I was going to hit the boat,” Sorrell recalled.
Another car captured dashcam video of the runaway vessel seconds prior — crossing three lanes of the eastbound 91 Freeway after becoming unhitched from a vehicle.
California Highway Patrol shut down the freeway for several hours, leaving drivers in disbelief.
“A boat is on the freeway! That’s what’s holding up the whole 91 Freeway guys,” a witness said in Citizen App video.
Sorrell says she suffered whiplash, and her Tesla is slightly damaged with a few scratches.
She’s now hoping the ship hasn’t sailed on finding the person responsible.
“What I understand from the CHP is they contacted the registered owner of the boat. The registered owner is claiming that they sold the boat, and they don’t know who they sold the boat to. I mean, that’s a little fishy,” she said. “Please help us find who was driving.”
CHP says it is investigating the incident, trying to locate the driver responsible. Anyone who may have video of the incident is encouraged to contact authorities.
