A 130-foot yacht crashed into a dock in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The vessel, named "Determination," was being towed when it veered off course and hit the dock along the New River. This incident occurred near Andrews Avenue on Monday morning.
The cause of the crash is attributed to an accidental throttle activation on the yacht bridge as it passed Andrews Avenue. The tow captains attempted to counter the propulsion but were unsuccessful. Further details of the incident are available through a video recorded by a South Florida radio personality who witnessed the crash.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident.
