A boat owner watched as his truck and trailer rolled into Puget Sound waters Friday morning, the Thurston County Sheriff's Office posted on social media.
About 7 a.m., the Thurston County Dive Rescue team was dispatched to Boston Harbor marina, north of Olympia on the east side of Budd Inlet.
"The owner was able to swim back to shore; however, the truck posed a risk to other watercraft and environmental hazards," the Sheriff's Office said in its social media post. "The dive team was able to recover the truck and trailer from the marina."
The driver of the truck had forgotten to put it in park when he exited and it rolled down the ramp into the water, Sheriff's Office Lt. Mike Brooks said Sunday.
