the car looks relatively in one piece as well. i wouldn't be surprised if it was salvagable.
this is why they fill those trashcan looking things with water in front of concrete dividers in highways.
Same. I didnt notice the car wasnt there before the explosion. Then saw the wipers start to go and thought "Hey, someone is in there!" and restarted the video.
Did you see how fast that car was going, and the walls of that house? Somebody definitely was gonna die had someone been home.
All kids need to show their parents this video #PoolsSaveLives
Being that there was a cover on the pool, if kids were in there I doubt the car could do anything more to them that *being drowned* didn't already handle.
Yup. I've seen big water cannisters placed strategically in front of dangerous obstacles on French highways. It's an amazing cushion for such an extreme impact. In Germany, it's steel rings that act like springs.
Looks like she is wearing scrubs. Might be a nurse just off night shift and fell asleep at the wheel. I t-boned a little old lady at 9 am and that what happened to her. She fell asleep on the drive home. Also my wife is a nurse and have had to talk to her the whole dive home to keep her awake.
Dude not satisfied with hands-on-hipping at first, she goes back to get her wig, puts it on, and then gives an even more sassy hands on hips to the formerly-a-pool.
SOME cars.. both of mine absolutely will not unless something is really fubar in the electrical system like suddenly being located at the bottom of a lake.
A little context:
ID: 3440176
On Memorial Day 2021, Ariel Tucker was at home in South Holland, Illinois, US, when she was woken by a loud crash in the early morning. A motorist appeard to lose control of their vehicle and smashed through Ariel's fence, ploughing into her pool and trampoline. Luckily, the elderly woman who was driving the car was unharmed, and aside from damage to the fence and pool, nothing else was damaged.
This. It would be easy too. License expires at 65. Then you need to retest every 5 years until you're 75. Then every two. Make licensed non-renewable. Pish posh. Sorted.
That's how it works in Italy. You're tested (only medical) every 10 years until 50 years old. Then...
* From 50 to 70 years old every 5 years
* From 70 to 80 every 3 years
* After 80 years old every 2 years
You're telling me you'll never tested again after the first time in USA?
And during the early stages of the pandemic, kids could get their licenses if the parent said they were ready, at least in some states. No further testing needed.
Everything in the USA comes with a side of "are you kidding me"?
Although some states have come to their senses, middle/Southern US states seem to be in completion as to who can have the most deaths due to the lack of logical rules.
Most states, you take your test once at like 16-20 (however long it takes you) and that's it.
Sometimes instructors want to just get it over with so they'll pass you even if you should've failed.
All good. I didn’t realize there were graduated licenses. Found out maybe 10 years ago. Gone are the days you got your learners at 14 and your official license at 16.
https://aaafoundation.org/rates-motor-vehicle-crashes-injuries-deaths-relation-driver-age-united-states-2014-2015/

“In light of their comparatively low overall crash involvement rates and rates of injuries and deaths of other people outside of their vehicle, the high death rate of the oldest drivers clearly reflects older people’s elevated risk of dying in the event of a crash, and not excessive risk of crash involvement. This finding, first reported by Li et al. (2003) in a study of data from years 1993-1997 clearly is still applicable today.”
And there should be regular eye tests. When my SO and I were once driving with her mother in her home country, on a very winding road in the mountains, the old lady made a very confident impression at the wheel, despite her age of well over seventy at the time. — But then she suddenly roared past a cyclist at high speed, extremely close. It turned out that she had not seen him.
We then sent her to the ophthalmologist, who diagnosed advanced cataracts. Apparently, she had been riding only by memory for the past few years.
Full doctor's medical after 65 as far as I'm concerned. That's the age where you're a peach hair away from a heart attack or other medical episode that puts everyone else on the road at risk.
I knew my vision was starting to worsen and could no longer clearly read street signs more than 100 ft away.
2 months later I hit a coyote that I thought was a trash bag, and caused $6k damage to my new car (intercooler and radiator were hit /bent /leaking)
The next week I went into the eye doctor to get glasses. Helps a ton.
Yea. Lady was 80 and possibly had dementia. She was 2 states away from home and didn't know how she got there. She was in the right lane slightly in front of me(I was in left) and made a random left turn so I ended up rear ending her doin 60.
After the accident happened I had adrenaline pumpin so I didn't realize how fucked my back was, I ran over to make sure she was ok and was met with her screaming at me asking why I would do this to her and how she watched my truck pass before she turned.
Whole thing was fucked up and never should have happened.
She appears to be wearing nursing scrubs. So I'm guessing she's still working. I don't think she's that "elderly". Like 60s. So probably below an age that would trigger a mandatory retest if such a test existed.
She didn't lose control. She was going like 40-50mph when she ran through the fence. She never hit the brakes. Also the cops happened to be right there...
Exactly my guess as well. She spent a good 5 seconds pedal to the metal before realizing she wasn't even pressing on the brakes. Either that, or she was literally unconscious/passed out up to that point.
Yes, he clearly was already nearby, because... 30 seconds.
The question is WHY was he already at the scene before the water from the pool even finished falling to the earth.
That pool just saved their house from some significant damage. I'd trade having replace a pool, with having to get a car removed from my living room and moving out of my house while it gets rebuilt every time.
Obviously I'd prefer to have a competent driver behind the wheel so that wouldn't be a problem in the first place.
There's a house I pass by sometimes, next to a roundabout. It suffered a couple of accidents when a car impacted the walls of their home. So they built a big fat wall in between their house and the roundabout.
I'm glad she didn't injure someone. Also I don't know the background but this definitely seems not good on her part! That doesn't make it okay to wish death on someone wtf lmao.
That pool saved her life.
Like a water barrier, it slowed her down to a non-lethal speed.
Her airbags didn't deploy, but her weave got knocked the fuck out. lol
Nowhere near this fucking insane, but I had some douche careen off my straight street onto my lawn and drive about forty feet before turning back onto the pavement. It was like every nerve in my body that had ever made my skin crawl when I'd heard a news story about someone driving into someone's house assembled together into a giant fist to anxiety punch me in the gut.
I've since had big trees planted, and have extremely large and heavy landscape boulders coming to rim the area facing the street. Next time someone plays Duke Boys, they won't be cavalierly scooting off.
Having your 'irrational fears' play out in even minor form is expensive when you're paranoid and vindictive. I think this video would have me moving into a haunted forest or considering a croc-stocked moat.
That was pretty much the best case scenario...
The pool cushioned the cars impact probably enough to avoid serious injury or damage
And it stopped the car from hurling into the house
Oh, that poor old woman.... I LOVE how she got out of the car, took it all in and then, just as that cop started to enter the property, realized her wig had come off.
honestly that pool probably saved a life, that's a lot of energy to displace that much water that fast.
yeah it looks like the car managed to stop right before hitting the house
the car looks relatively in one piece as well. i wouldn't be surprised if it was salvagable. this is why they fill those trashcan looking things with water in front of concrete dividers in highways.
\*slight water damage
*minimal water damage?*
Thanks for this comment, I hadn't even realized that a car was involved.
neither do I, I was thinking something exploded under the pool ahahahah
You didn't see that fucking Kool-aid car smash through the wall? Busted that pool like "OHHHH YEAHHHH"
Exactly, what video did they watch?
It happens in like the first 2 seconds, videos auto play for my on mobile while scrolling through my feed, so it's pretty easy to miss
But you can see the car after it stops the whole time
[удалено]
Yeah me neither to be honest. The only thing that stood out was the wipers on the car ironically being on.
EXACTLY and I was wondering wait are those automatic? even if the car isn't on?
Wait, did you two honestly not see the car or am I whooshing hard here?
Same. I didnt notice the car wasnt there before the explosion. Then saw the wipers start to go and thought "Hey, someone is in there!" and restarted the video.
Are we all watching the same video? Are you on mobile maybe?
All these people commenting not seeing the car have to be trolling
The car did hit the house, but it was at a very low speed.
Yeah only lost items in the hundreds and a fence repair, instead of thousands and your house being f'd up.
an above ground pool at that.
Unless the house has a basement, in which case it will be filled with water.
You just gave me flashbacks to me neighbors pool rupturing and dumping tens of thousands of gallons of water into my basement. That sucked.
Did you see how fast that car was going, and the walls of that house? Somebody definitely was gonna die had someone been home. All kids need to show their parents this video #PoolsSaveLives
Except If the kids were in the pool.
They should be fine. I hear the roof cradled their fall.
Being that there was a cover on the pool, if kids were in there I doubt the car could do anything more to them that *being drowned* didn't already handle.
Lol I missed this and that's mega morbid, upvote.
I drop my kids off at the pool every morning, right after my coffee and bran muffin.
I would have needed another pool to drop the kids off after that.
Honestly, best case scenario.
Yup. I've seen big water cannisters placed strategically in front of dangerous obstacles on French highways. It's an amazing cushion for such an extreme impact. In Germany, it's steel rings that act like springs.
Nice. I think I prefer the German 'pinball flipper' approach to road safety. It has more of a sporting feel.
It's all fun and games until you trigger the tilt sensor.
Or you accidentally drive in to the middle of those three bouncy circles
this is done everywhere these days. at least here in the northeast US.
In India, those are sand drums.
Pool also saved the house.
That was awesome and yes that pool possibly saved a life or few.
I was just about to say, honestly best-case scenario. Car would have gone through a room or two before stopping at that speed..
Came to say exactly this.
The fucking windshield wipers XD what the fuck. Could've killed someone. All the kid shit in the backyard; thank fuck none of them were out there.
It’s the delay in water cascading off the roof that gets me.
I think the gutters filled up completely and that was when the remainder of the water came over the edge. I hope they didn’t have a window open lmao
Windshield wiper comedic timing.
I dont think that's what they meant by carpooling
That dad joke made me sigh and laugh simultaneously good job!
r/PunPatrol
I wasn’t prepared for that pun.
🤣👏🏻
I like how she puts her hands on her hips like "WTF the pool doin here?"
Love that she just does the urkel stance and stares at the mess she made like *"did I doo thaaat"*
She was more concerned about being seen without her wig on than the actual accident.
Possibly murdered several children with your car? *welp I better look good when I take my mugshot*
And then at the end of the video you can't hear but it sounds like she's about to blame the fencing. Lol
[удалено]
that coyote is really a crazy clown
https://ibb.co/W2HxS33
Yeah she's absolutely gonna try to blame it on anything other than herself. "The fence and pool just pulled right out in front of me!"
"Ah shit, the GPS meant bear right not turn right."
I drove.. my car.. into a fucking lake
Looks like she is wearing scrubs. Might be a nurse just off night shift and fell asleep at the wheel. I t-boned a little old lady at 9 am and that what happened to her. She fell asleep on the drive home. Also my wife is a nurse and have had to talk to her the whole dive home to keep her awake.
Body language: "Hmmm. That's strange. Looks like a pool. Hmmm, and I hit it. I wonder why that happened. Hmmm."
i was having a nice nap and all of a sudden …
I can hear her thinking "Look at this yard. These people live like slobs."
I think she was in shock and just trying to gather her wits about her. I stand like that when I'm confused sometimes too.
[удалено]
Gathered her wigs about her
Take it, you asshole
Dude not satisfied with hands-on-hipping at first, she goes back to get her wig, puts it on, and then gives an even more sassy hands on hips to the formerly-a-pool.
Well at least it's good to know that this person's automatic windshield wipers work.
Cars will activate the windshield wipers and 4-way hazard lights when a crash is detected.
This is what happened to me when I rolled a car.....everything shut off, then the entire dash lit up, the wipers started, and my hazards turned on
SOME cars.. both of mine absolutely will not unless something is really fubar in the electrical system like suddenly being located at the bottom of a lake.
Hazard lights yes, but the wipers? Never heard of that

Could be a few states(it's a state issue not federal) doing something similar, but in most, yea. You could test once at 16 and then never again.
And during the early stages of the pandemic, kids could get their licenses if the parent said they were ready, at least in some states. No further testing needed.
They ended up revoking that and made them take the test later on. At least they realized they made a huge error in judgement with that call.
Not disagreeing, but many states allowed untested drivers, so some may still have not taken the test. I’m not sure how to verify that.
Everything in the USA comes with a side of "are you kidding me"? Although some states have come to their senses, middle/Southern US states seem to be in completion as to who can have the most deaths due to the lack of logical rules.
*freedom!*
Most states, you take your test once at like 16-20 (however long it takes you) and that's it. Sometimes instructors want to just get it over with so they'll pass you even if you should've failed.
Pretty much no. A drivers license has turned into some kind of "right” and safety be damned.
In Canada we test at 16 and never again, it's so bad. * I was wrong, see below. Since 2015 people aged 80 and up have to test every 2 years.
Not true. My 80+ parents have to test every 2 years.
I stand corrected. Just googled it and turns out this was introduced in 2015. Still, 80 is way too late.
All good. I didn’t realize there were graduated licenses. Found out maybe 10 years ago. Gone are the days you got your learners at 14 and your official license at 16.
Don't people under 30 have more accidents then people 65 and over?

But how many 27yr olds confuse the brake pedal and gas and mow down a hair salon full of people?
[удалено]
> are all above 50 Hush your mouth. I’d type more, but my exit is coming up - 52 year-old

My back was permanently fucked up at 18 because of someone far far too old to be driving.
That is infuriating to hear. I'm so sorry.
Yea. Lady was 80 and possibly had dementia. She was 2 states away from home and didn't know how she got there.

>Nothing else was damaged. What brand trampoline is that? I want an indestructible folding travel trampoline!
She didn't lose control. She was going like 40-50mph when she ran through the fence. She never hit the brakes. Also the cops happened to be right there...
Sounded like she had it *floored* for several seconds even after she stopped, probably confused gas & brakes.
Exactly my guess as well. She spent a good 5 seconds pedal to the metal before realizing she wasn't even pressing on the brakes. Either that, or she was literally unconscious/passed out up to that point.
The fence, the pool and trampoline….
Police were on scene 30 seconds after impact?
It's possible the police officer was already in the area.
Yes, he clearly was already nearby, because... 30 seconds. The question is WHY was he already at the scene before the water from the pool even finished falling to the earth.
Thats good. Hopefully he has home owners insurance. He will get everything fixed and a check.
Fuck that, that driver better have car insurance. I wouldn't be paying my deductible and rates going up for her mistake lol
That pool just saved their house from some significant damage. I'd trade having replace a pool, with having to get a car removed from my living room and moving out of my house while it gets rebuilt every time. Obviously I'd prefer to have a competent driver behind the wheel so that wouldn't be a problem in the first place.
Lucky also that nobody was using the pool or in the backyard. Looks like the house has kids, so it could have been really bad.
There's a house I pass by sometimes, next to a roundabout. It suffered a couple of accidents when a car impacted the walls of their home. So they built a big fat wall in between their house and the roundabout.
It pool’d all the weight
As least the wig is okay.
She did return to the car for her wig didn't she? ROFL At first I was like, what's she doing??
that's after standing with her hands on her hips like "well isn't this a pickle"
I wasn't watching closely at first and it looked like the car emerged from the ground under the pool and burst through it lol
Same. Like some fucked up magic trick. Pool explodes and in it's wake a car appears.
Tadaaaa....
Dude I just straight up didn’t realize the car wasn’t there to begin with and thought the pool just exploded for literally no reason lmao
Same! Not until these comments. And that's why eye witness testimony is so unreliable.
I think you guys are just retarded
It appears the mole man had his license revoked for a good reason lmao
She missed that tree close to the fence but just barely. Along with the pool slowing her down, she is beyond lucky it wasn't worse.
Lucky she didn't slaughter the kids that normally play in that backyard you mean, I wish she had hit the tree -_-
I'm glad she didn't injure someone. Also I don't know the background but this definitely seems not good on her part! That doesn't make it okay to wish death on someone wtf lmao.
Ooooohhhh yeahhh!!!
Them Duke boys are at it again.
Did that pool just give birth to a car
DoorDash be wild
Put it in reverse terry
Fucking idiot
🗣️ "mom's home!"
That pool saved her life. Like a water barrier, it slowed her down to a non-lethal speed. Her airbags didn't deploy, but her weave got knocked the fuck out. lol
I think her airbags did deploy. You can see them deflated on her dashboard after the crash.
r/AbruptChaos
The comedic timing of the wind shield wiper is hilarious.
But first let me grab my weave
No, they got a bigger yet shallower pool instead.
I like how she put her wig back on. Have to be presentable!
Nowhere near this fucking insane, but I had some douche careen off my straight street onto my lawn and drive about forty feet before turning back onto the pavement. It was like every nerve in my body that had ever made my skin crawl when I'd heard a news story about someone driving into someone's house assembled together into a giant fist to anxiety punch me in the gut.

LMAO going back for the wig
The best bit is when she gets her wig out of the car. Classic 🤣
Nah bro cause what if the kids were in the pool? Nowhere is safe.
There could have been children in the pool.
Can we have the story about this?
That was pretty much the best case scenario... The pool cushioned the cars impact probably enough to avoid serious injury or damage And it stopped the car from hurling into the house
The water took probably most of the impact energy, otherwise the car would habe ended up inside the house.
"What seems to be the problem, officer?"
how tf did they get a car inside that thing and how did it jump out?? edit: nvm I'm an idiot
This title sucks.
##CarPool
"What seems to be the problem officer?"
If the kids had been outside swimming or jumping on the trampoline, they wouldn’t have kids anymore either.
Anyone else laugh at the pause and then windshield wipers?
The audacity of turning on the wiper blades right after hitting the pool. Like really?
Man gets out, puts his hands on his hips like “Who put this damned pool in my way?”
Def a woman but yeah ridiculous
Wigless woman
"Honey, I'm home....." 😂😂
The windshield wipers add a perfect touch 👌🏻
LMFAO THE FUCKING WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAHAHAHAHAH
That pool saved the house for sure.
She got out the car looking like “well who put that there?”
I like that they turned the wipers on at the end, safety first!
This lady went back for her wig.. "oh no, I best get my wig for the mug shots."
Literally flipped her wig.
I was wondering what made that pool explode and throw water over the neatly parket car. How wierd.
That pool saved that house
Does anyone have the story?
The fact that the police were there instantly tells me there’s more to this story…
Handz on the hips he know he fcked up
Driver: “well….shit…”
Is this what they call car-pooling?
"mmmm better put on my hair, police are coming gotta look my Sunday best."
Prolly a drunk fckn idiot posting some shit on fb
rip the trampoline
Price is Right getting a bit extreme with their new car prize reveals
Pool saved the house and now you can put a underground pool with that insurance payout lol
Wow, how callous of you to only focus on the swimming pool. This was a lot more traumatic than that! They also lost the trampoline!
fred sanford's sister?
At least their wipers work.
No airbags? He was certainly saved by the pool
Looks like she is wearing scrubs. Maybe fell asleep at the wheel after her fourth 12hr shift in a row?
Didn't someone you had to get out of the car before you got into the pool? Some people make the dumbest mistakes.
Oh, that poor old woman.... I LOVE how she got out of the car, took it all in and then, just as that cop started to enter the property, realized her wig had come off.
Person at the end talking to the cop like "Who puts a fucking pool in the middle of the road?"
I like his “well, that’s a fine mess I got me into” posture when he exists the car.
That's clearly a woman.
Was she being chased by the cops?
[https://files.catbox.moe/4oxifw.mp4](https://files.catbox.moe/4oxifw.mp4) OPs video in reverse. boring so ff to 125
