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

Police cite speeding before impact as investigators have not confirmed any charges.

Overview

  • The late‑night crash on Dec. 15 in Laughlin was captured on home surveillance as a car burst through a block wall and went airborne.
  • Footage and a crash report describe the vehicle striking a pool‑house roof before the driver was thrown into the swimming pool.
  • Homeowner Cletis Reed found the woman floating in the shallow end, pulled her out conscious, and she was later transported to a hospital in Arizona.
  • The collision wrecked the patio, contaminated a 25,000‑gallon pool with motor oil, and left the car in a spot that required a crane to remove.
  • The driver is described in reporting as a suspected impaired driver with prior traffic violations, and LVMPD has not confirmed whether charges will be filed.
