A wild party by a group of men in the UK turned into a nightmare for the locals. The group had hired 3 barges for the weekend, and ended up crashing one of them, and sinking another, as per a Daily Mail report.

The incident occurred in Worcestershire between May 20 and 22. The accidents led to the flooding of a nearby road, and closure of a waterway.

The drunk group allegedly crashed one of the barges into another boat on May 20 evening. The sailor of the other boat, Amanda Huxtable said that she was frightened, and called the police. The group allegedly hit multiple boats on the same night.

Meanwhile, a barge sank while passing through a lock on the Droitwich canal in Worcestershire. It took rescue teams most of May 21 to unblock the canal, even as water levels rose and flooded nearby roads.

The Canal and Rivers Trust is reportedly investigating the incident.
