What's your guess as to how this happened?

[Munkin]

 

I have seen many failures at the boat ramp but this one has me at a loss of words? Found this on Facebook and everytime I look all I think is how? Truck is upside down but the trailer isn't? On a  scale. Of 1 to 10 worst traler backing this person is at 27

I just wanna know how he did that.

My guess is that the vehicle went fully into the water and flipped over.

That's why I posted it? How do you flip a truck upside down on a boat ramp?

 

Just imagine pulling up to that boat ramp to launch and seeing this?

He was upside down on his 0% interest, 84 month loan ?!?

I would guess it’s a doctored image.

Indeed. That what I meant by doctored. Great minds…?

Only thing that makes since is he backed down with one side of the truck on the dock and flipped.

The truck flipped over under water.  The trailer popped off the hitch but the safety chains stayed connected.   That’s the only explanation I can come up with.

Considering the trailer is the same width, if not wider...it would be involved in the flipping too.

 

I'm going with IB's opinion...doctored image.

[RDB]

He was working on his motor on the boat ramp and felt the wrath of the people waiting to launch.

Hey Bubba, hold my beer and watch this.

That's what I was thinking

I don’t see any figments of photoshop, so I’m going to call this one stupidity. I’m also on the flipped over in the water group. The only way to do it off the dock would be to have the trailer going down the ramp and cut the wheel hard to get the truck up the dock. I think you’d notice that, and even if you did it, the truck would be on its side, maybe, and not upside down. I don’t know how it would flip while floating, but it would be a lot easier to flip at zero weight than full car weight.

My guess is a launching accident. The tow vehicle launched the boat and both trailer and vehicle kept going down into the water and sank. 

The tow truck pulled out the vehicle turned upside down and the trailer came loose held by the safety chains.

What is curious is the law enforcement looking for something or someone in the water.

I blew the picture up but lost a lot of resolution. It looks like there might be a person in the water next to the dock.

 

The vehicle has a lot of damage to the side that is visible to us so it may have rolled over. 

 

I am curious and hope that someone posts some details.

What is that on the back of the truck? It looks like a bumper, but there's a vertical piece to it. Is that part of the trailer?

 

Look at the right side of the truck where the bed is crushed above the back tires.

 

The tires look wet, so that backs up the theory it probably flipped underwater.

 

[Bankbeater]

New to backing up trailers may have ran up on the dock on the left, and rolled over.  The top is pretty well flattened, so maybe it was a photoshop job.

[Cbump]

The guy laying down on the left is the tow truck driver. They are usually partially responsible for clearing debris. So something clearly happened at this ramp. No one would put that level of detail in a photoshop. My guess is the trailer, tow truck, and people belong in this picture. 
 

However, I’m leaning towards the truck part of the picture itself to be photoshop from a Highway accident. Too much damage, and whatever that thing is coming off the bumper doesn’t seem to belong. Although that looks like a pontoon trailer and they sometimes have something similar on the trailer. This just looks off though. 

[Zcoker]

I’d say this is all after the fact. The blue truck was launching and went into the water. The picture just shows everything after it was pulled out of the water, all twisted and upside down. The positioning of everything is just the way it was underwater when the tow truck did it’s pulling duty.

A wake boat came by ignoring the no wake zone.  The big waves flipped the truck.      The trailer is lighter.  Instead of just flipping over it done a 360.   (I'm joking people)

[Darth-Baiter]

no doubt.  he fully submerged everything. truck went turtle underwater and the tow rig just pulled its out as is.    that's how I think it played out
