funny car accident pic
This pic made me laugh.
Pat Campanella, left, and Affordable Towing and Recovery owner Devin Statts discuss how to get Campanella's SUV out of Katherine Peacock's pool in Hawai'i Kai. Campanella was giving his wife a driving lesson when she overcompensated and drove into the pool.

My friend emailed me that article. I thought it was photoshopped but apparently not. It was in the Honolulu Advertiser apparently.

Reminds me of my friend's cousin who got really drunk and drove her car into Lake Ruth at Western IL University because "she wanted to see if it would swim"...

Are you sure it's not photoshopped? Because I was thinking...if they drove the car into the pool, they would have been in it. They would have had to open the doors to get out of it, and the doors are shut. Would they have been able to get the doors shut again?
It's pretty funny either way.

Maybe they went out the window since they were already down. It is Hawaii. Also its really hard to open the door when your car is in water, until the door is completely submerged... Im guessing they went out the window.

The driver's side window looks open.

This brings a whole new meaning to the term "flooding the engine."
The picture does look just a little to perfect, though. You would think that the car would go into the pool nose first, and that there would be some damage. It also fits maybe a little too perfectly.
I wouldn't rule out the photoshop possibility.
