Warwick man crushed by boat trailer

WARWICK _ A man was crushed and killed at his 38 Fuller St. home last night when his boat trailer pinned him to the driveway, the police said.

The police today say William H. Shoesmith, 34, was trying to fix a bolt on the trailer when it snapped and the trailer and his 24-foot powerboat fell on his head.

A police officer used a floor jack to free Shoesmith. He was then taken to Rhode Island Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 7 p.m. yesterday.
