Actor Sid Owen says he has written off a £30,000 boat after a collision on the River Thames. The incident is described as occurring during a day on the water in which he was reportedly drinking. According to the report, his boat struck an overhanging tree, leading to damage severe enough that he did not recover the vessel. The article also states that the timing was soon after Owen had bought the boat and that the mishap affected other plans connected to the purchase. Alongside claims about the circumstances of the crash, the report links the incident to a setback for Owen’s wider business efforts, which it describes as being at an early stage. The outlet characterizes the day as “boozy” and frames the event as a consequential outcome of the collision, but details such as official investigation status or confirmed cause are not provided in the cited text. The reports focus on the reported cost of the boat, the collision with the tree, and the impact on Owen’s plans following the purchase.
