just how stupid do you have to be to decide it'll be ok to drive out onto the boardwalk? A truck driver following GPS directions made a wrong turn this morning and wound up driving over two miles on a boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey.


the truck damaged about 100 feet of boardwalk railings.

It took four hours to remove the truck from the boardwalk. The Ventnor City Public Works Department was forced to remove 100 feet of railings in order to give the truck enough room to turn around. The cab of the truck was also detached from the trailer. A tow truck was brought in to remove the trailer.

  1. Hmm... He was probably wearing flip flops and shorts, and English is a second language...

    Really, who in their right mind would drive up onto a boardwalk?

  2. Speaks volumes about the quality of the boardwalk construction though.

  3. Looks as if it wasn't a tow truck..Just a 2 axle truck with a shorter wheelbase..
