When the Truck Wanted to Be the Boat

An unexpected sight greets passersby at the local dock. A truck, once in charge of towing a boat, has found itself halfway submerged in water, with the boat still attached to its tow trailer. The two hapless people on the scene seem to be grappling with a crisis that neither had planned for, trying to extricate the vehicle from its watery predicament.

The truck meant to ferry the boat to the water has ended up needing a ferry itself. Its fate in this condition is grim because once a vehicle’s engine and electronic systems are submerged in water, they’re likely to suffer significant damage, often leading to a total loss.
