Powerboat motors out of river, slams into gazebo

A powerboat drives out of New Jersey's Toms River  onto the shore and demolishes a riverside home's gazebo.

It might just be one of the oddest DWI cases in recent memory — a powerboat sliced right into a gazebo off the Toms River over the weekend.

The boat's driver was charged with DWI, according to The Asbury Park Press.

The 40-foot boat slammed into the gazebo outside of Ann and George Schuld's home in Berkeley Township, N.J., around 10:30 Saturday night. Ann is a popular local realtor. She and George were out dancing when it happened. Ann's cell phone lit up.

"I thought someone had died," she told Berkeley Patch reporter Patricia A. Miller.

Schuld’s sister, Louise Zuber, passed by the accident scene moments after it occurred.

"It’s the most amazing thing ever,” she told the Asbury Park Press. "It [the boat] doesn't look like it was damaged."

The gazebo sure does. The driver and two other folks were able to walk away from the accident.

"They didn't even say goodbye," Schuld told Patch.com. "They just left."
