An elderly woman from Austin, Texas, gave a new meaning to “carpooling” after she drove her car straight into a…swimming pool.
The security cam footage shows 86-year-old Mary Lee Fine in a blue Plymouth/Dodge Neon as she crashed the fence and flew into the water.
Moments later, a man who happened to be walking close by, saw her and calmly (maybe too calmly…) removed his valuables and jumped into the pool to free Mrs. Fine from the car.
Speaking with reporters, Mrs. Fine, who lives in a retirement home in Austin, said that another car blocked her Neon sedan and that she tried to get in from the passenger side. She says that she may have shifted the transmission into drive by mistake.
“In pushing myself to get over, I either hit the key or hit the gear shift, I don’t know what happened, but the car backed up and…wooo whom!,” she told reporters at the scene.
Luckily, the lively elderly woman wasn’t hurt from the crash.
“You know you get to be 84, err 86, you’re going to go from something!” she said.
