Sounds like they were realatively experienced boaters, going fast, maybe touching it off with another boat, accidentally trimmed down too far while cornering which hooked, caught, over corrected, which sent them into the woods. Miraculously they are ok, doesn't sound like anyone was ejected, and the boat held up better than most of today's paper mache would!!!
The post above said ejected, what you seen said they didn't?

I would have thought they were ejected before the boat ran up on shore. I think there would be a very different outcome if everyone was in the boat up thru the trees. Just thankful everyone will be OK.

Sounds like a couple were hurt pretty badly but will survive.

No doubt - objects in motion, stay in motion....

The boat decelerated to 0 on the tree BURIED into the port sponson at the tunnel...the passengers would have kept travelling under inertia until they too hit something (dash/ seat backs/ whatever)...helluva abrupt stop

Bad circumstances but at the very least, good to hear everyone will recover

If that was truly a 130MPH crash and everyone survived that's a miracle.

Hope everyone pulls through

That’s what happens when you drink the worm buckets.

My guess is the the outcome would have been worse if there were occupants on board for the wildlife portion of the ride. Sure glad everyone will be okay and its just another chance for all of us to learn from. Narrow waterways don't leave room for error....
