The bridge in the background of the first pic may give a clue.
 
Well, it's 20 years since was in SA and I had to resort to Googlemaps to get the highway numbers right, so I'm in no position to criticise.
I don't remember a bridge like that in Durban though, but I never did go to Vaaldam.
 
Once someone nails the location... can you tell us whats going on.... with no sign of a lorry... I can only assume the boat has wheels or it was dragged there by elephants....
 
see the rather long skid marks of grp, the lack of lorry, the bridge, the bemused people..

your honour, I think I have a scenario
 
Durban, Tollgate Bridge is in the background in the 1st photo. The boat is a Royal Cape Catamaran built in Pinetown - 15km inland from where the photo was taken.

You can send me a virtual beer.

I had the same scenario in mind, but I would have expected to see a bridge shaped hole in the deck house.
 
Spot on Stingo and Jkay, and you should know.

The Cat was being transported from Pinetown to Durban at night / early morning with a police escort and was being watched by the owner from tollgate bridge that is in the background.

As I understand there was a broken down car in the middle lane of the highway, the truck braked and the cat slid off the trailer.

I plan to move my new boat to Durban by the same transporter also down the N3 from Joburg but will go a different was as my boat will be too high to get under the bridge around where this happened.
