Quote (http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/65090000/jpg/_65090892_chertsey_matthewburch.jpg) Two people were on board the boat when it became wedged under the bridge A pleasure boat has become stuck while trying to pass under a bridge on the River Thames in Surrey. Chertsey Bridge, which has seven arches, has been closed to traffic in both directions while the emergency services try to release the vessel. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service said two fire engines and a fire boat were sent to the scene just before 13:00 GMT. Two people were on board the boat, which is thought to have misjudged the height of the flood-swollen river. A spokeswoman for the fire service said crews were waiting for the arrival of a building inspector to assess any structural damage of the bridge. Traffic is heavy in the area as a result of the closure, with motorists being diverted through Staines.

So we're blaming the boat here. Will this be on the Insured's claim form?
