Vehicle crashes onto docked boat

SPRING LAKE, Mich. (WOOD) - It was a strange sight on a usually quiet dock in Ottawa County Thursday morning.

"In 22 years you don't expect to get a call of a car sitting on top of a boat," said Sgt. Curt Theune of the Spring Lake-Ferrysburg Police Department.

For the second time in three years a woman has been involved in a crash involving her vehicle and a body of water.

Witnesses said Cari Draft's vehicle backed into some machinery in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn in the 900 block of W. Savidge Street in Spring Lake. She then drove forward and her vehicle went between some trees, airborne, over a nearby dock and landed on a boat in the water.

Witness Ed Gillies saw Draft sitting on the boat after the crash around 5:50 a.m.

"She looked at the car and she said, 'Boy, I really did it this time,'" said Gillies.

"She said she just started getting dizzy and next thing she knows she's sitting on the bow of a boat with her SUV there."

Gillies said Draft was on her way to teach a fitness class when she pulled over into the parking lot.

Police said alcohol was not involved. They believe a medical issue caused Draft to crash.

Draft, 47, was taken to North Ottawa Community Hospital for treatment to a small cut on her face.

In 2009 Draft was driving on Boom Road near 148th Avenue near her home in Ottawa County when she felt dizzy and pulled over but crashed into the Grand River.

I know you joke around a lot, but that one was not funny in my opinion.

Better luck next time :)

And if you haven't figured out that I JOKE AROUND A LOT by now, then maybe you just shouldn't read my posts or comments.

If you seriously think I'm truly THAT sexist, and really MEANT what I said in my comment, then you need to take a serious look in the mirror and reassess your own personal reality (with all due respect).

I have the UPMOST respect for women. I believe that women have gotten the short end of the stick for generations. I believe that women's rights should be put FAR, FAR ahead of the NAACP's agenda and the like. I believe that women are far more adept than men at many, many more things than they're given credit for. I believe SO much more than what I've written here, but I don't want to bore you with my 'pro-women' stance.

Get a clue Orphan. If you didn't see that for the joke that it was, I have to feel a bit sorry for you.

I thought it was funny until I saw your sexist remark.

You know better so why make that remark to begin with ?
You don't need to write that crap just cause it popped into your head.
