BERKELEY — A 40-foot boat traveling at a high speed careened off the
Toms River Saturday night and into the yard of a township home. The boat
came to a stop yards from the water, destroying a gazebo outside of the
Cove Road West home of Ann and George Schuld.

Neighbor Angela Rattigan said she heard a loud swooosh sound at about
10:30 p.m.

“It's funny in a way because no one got hurt,” Rattigan said. “We're all
in shock.”

Ann Schuld’s sister Louise Zuber said the couple was not home at the
time of the accident.

“We were up the street and passed by moments after it happened,” Zuber
said. “The boat smashed into the gazebo and landed in my sister's side
yard. It's the most amazing thing ever.”

Zuber immediately called her sister’s cellphone to tell her of the
accident, she said.

“It's a beautiful boat,” Zuber said. “It doesn't look like it's really
damaged.”

State Police charged the boat’s driver, David M. McDermott — whose age
and hometown were not immediately available — with driving while
intoxicated, said Sgt. Julian Castellanos, spokesman for the State Police.
