I can understand a kid in his Camaro getting enough air to launch himself good and far into a lake but how the hell does an old geezer fully submerge his barely breathing geezer mobile...and then no one else does it in almost 50 years?
The road was unstriped and curved around the lake. Driving one direction, the road goes left but you go straight to the boat ramp. Dark road, dark night and they drove right into the lake. Panick set in and they never even got the doors open.
I want to die in my sleep like grandpa, not like the screaming people in his car as it went over the cliff!!
Most lakes,ponds,and rivers aren’t crystal clear ;once in the water the car continues sliding deeper until something stops it. Many bodies of water have enough suspended particles that you cannot see your fingers at the end of your arm if stuck into the water.
I have little doubt there are hundreds more cars and trucks hidden underwater as a result of driver error or confusion on a dark or rainy night. There were two cars driven into Brookville Lake in Indiana at night by drivers unfamiliar with the area ;evidently drove down the boat ramp by mistake.How many others might have done it but weren’t seen?
Ever notice how many roads are near water with nothing to stop a car?
