Cross-country drive on 2 gallons of gas
BELLEVUE, Wash., Dec. 28 (UPI) -- A test drive of a used car in Washington state got a little cold and wet after the prospective buyer crashed it into a pool.
A 20-year-old woman mistook the gas pedal for the brake of a 1988 Buick Riviera she was thinking of buying, the Seattle Times reports.
The woman accidentally took the car over a curb and a telephone utility box, alongside two trees, through two fences and into the pool at the Racquet Club Estates in Bellevue, where the seller lived.
Firefighters rescued the woman and took her to the Overlake Hospital Medical Center for hypothermia.
A tow truck was needed to get the car out and the owner doesn't want to talk about it.
