Overview
- Surveillance footage shows a car burst through a concrete wall, flip through the air, hit a pool-house roof and eject the driver into a private swimming pool.
- The crash occurred late on Dec. 15 in Laughlin, Nevada, and the driver was transported to a hospital in Arizona.
- Homeowner Cletis Reed says he and others pulled the conscious but disoriented driver from the water after finding his backyard in ruins.
- The wreck destroyed the patio and contaminated a 25,000-gallon pool with motor oil, with repairs estimated near $300,000 and a full drain likely.
- LVMPD has not confirmed charges or impairment publicly, records show the driver has prior traffic violations, and a crane was needed to remove the vehicle.
