Nevada Crash Video Shows Car Go Airborne Into Backyard, Ejecting Driver Into Pool

A crash report blames speeding and failure to stop, with no charging decision announced.

Overview

  • Home security footage from Laughlin shows a car burst through a block wall late on Dec. 15, strike a pool house roof and send the driver into a backyard swimming pool.
  • Homeowner Cletis Reed pulled the woman from the water; she was conscious and was later taken to a hospital in Arizona.
  • Police and a crash report cited by local media attribute the wreck to speeding and a failure to stop before the wall impact.
  • Reed says the crash destroyed his patio and contaminated his 25,000-gallon pool with motor oil, and he estimates repairs near $300,000, likely requiring a full drain.
  • The vehicle’s position required a crane-equipped tow truck for removal, and Las Vegas police have not confirmed whether any charges will be filed.
