they just announced Anthony Digilio of Brick turned himself in

i know the boat...was an all white custom. they popped a hull from and old IMP mold or something...had like a 600+hp single. the boat and owner were tied up at the wharfside for the point pleasant race last year spectating...boat was really nice
|
I just talked to one of the police that were on scene. The boat hit the whaler at such a force that it flew over the hull took out the center console and the driver behind the wheel, he was killed instantly. the boat was running at a hi rate of speed. I don't care if the guy was my best friend it takes a big set to run after you knew you hit a boat and possibly hurt someone are in this case killed someone "Drinking or No Drinking" Thats one heartlest bastard that even couldn't stop. He knew how to run and hide his boat.

There is only one single reason you wouldn't stop. If it was truly an 'accident' and he didn't see the Whaler ... regardless whether or not it was recklessly driving in pitch black at high rate of speed ... that is not illegal ... he would have stopped, why not??

I can think of one reason........the fine is only like $100 for a hit and run on the water. Not saying its the right thing to do. Another reason.....the obvious.....to keep you crew safe and attempt to make port before she sinks. Lots of BS speculation getting thrown out. So far I haven't seen proof of any wrong doing.........cept for the starboard side damage to the whaler, which would indicate that the 27ft boat had the right of way. If its not illegal to go-fast at night on that water, then the boater has every excuse in the world to do it.
Curious - does the location have noise laws? |

Right of way or not, its illegal and immoral to leave the scene of an accident. Hang the son of a *****!! Didnt call to get them help, even if he was trying to save his own crew and then took the serial numbers off the boat??
Forget the hanging, shoot him. |

I haven't read whether or not the boat was anchored but if it was that's another item that puts the blame squarely on the driver who left the scene of the accident and it doesn't matter where he hits them. Its people with your mentality that are going to be the death of power boating as we know it, they are too stupid for their own good and god help anyone on the water when they are out in their boat... Anyone who condones or makes excuses for someone who leaves an accident that they have been involved in with obvious personal injury is a tool in my book. |
