WATCH: Heart-stopping boat collision forces fishermen to jump ship

COLUMBIA RIVER, Oregon — A terrifying collision between a large boat and a group of fishermen on a smaller boat in Oregon was captured on camera.

The heart-stopping incident was captured on video by a camera on the smaller boat.

The fishermen were forced to jump ship after attempts to signal the large boat were unsuccessful.

Luckily, everyone on the boat who jumped into the water were not seriously injured.

The 75-year-old driver of the large boat said he didn’t see them because he was sitting down while driving.

But, the man’s son-in-law told police he didn’t notice the small boat because he was looking at his phone at the time of the collision.

One person has filed a lawsuit, and the others have hired attorneys.
