Proctroville, Ohio (WSAZ)-A telephone call may have saved a man's life Sunday afternoon. He was sitting in his bedroom but got up to answer his phone. A few seconds later a large boat crashed into the room where he had just been sitting.

Police say the crash was an accident. A neighbor was hooking his boat up to a trailer when it slipped down the hill and slammed into a house.

The accident happened Sunday afternoon. Police tell us they may need to bring a crane in to remove the boat.

This accident happened in a neighborhood in Bradrick. That is near Proctorville in Lawrence County, Ohio.

Big Deal a boat crashed into a house. No one was hurt and yea it's news mention it 1 time not have it a headlining story. There was also a bad car accident in Ironton the night before and it was a hit and run and it hasn't even been mentioned. That kinda seems a little more important than a boat that NO ONE got hurt in

I agree with Nope and I was raised in Chesapeake and Bradrick Hill is Chesapeake--even the kids that live up there go to Chesapeake schools. Get ya facts right wsaz.

If you all would looked hard you would see the trailer and boat was together it came off of the ball on the truck. So if it looks locked then you would think it was. Just a crazy mishap. Glad no one was hurt. I know Jermey and he is very safe when it comes to his boat and moving it.
