The boat detached from the vehicle and trailer that was pulling it because it was not tied down well enough. WSP issued the driver a ticket for failure to secure their load.
No one was injured when the boat fell off its trailer, though it did leave skid marks on the roadway, showing how it dragged down the road. Blewett Pass is about two hours east of Seattle.
