How did it happen?? She`s a woman driver that`s what happened! lol!! Actually I don`t know, but if I were to guess it look like she did one of those "I hit the gas instead of the brake" kind of deal. I see to the right of her, one of the stone barriers is moved, so it seems the car plowed through that and just by sheer luck the car hit the boat and got stuck instead of going right into the water, but that stone on the other hand doesn`t seem to be directly behind the car. What I want to know is how did she get out? She`s holding the keys and the door is open so she must have been driving it.

At first I thought maybe it was left in nuetral and rolled by itself, but a lot of cars won`t go into nuetral unless the key is in the ignition, so she must have been driving it and mistook the gas for the brake. My mother has done that a zillion times, the worst was when she was waiting on line at a drive in teller at a bank and she hit the gas instead of the brake and went right into a telephone pole totaling the car. She was alright because she was wearing her seatbelt and had an airbag, but the whole front end was smashed into oblivion. My father pays something like a zillion dollars a year in insurance she`s had so many accidents. One time she was coming to a stop light too fast and hit the brakes too hard (luckily the brakes this time) and spun sideways and hit three cars at once if you can believe it. Just like bowling, "Striiike" She hit the car in the left hand turning lane, and the two cars in both lanes to the right waiting at the light.
