A Florida teen won't be getting behind the wheel of a car for a while and there are two reasons why. The first is that he slammed into a parked car and fled the scene. The second is that his car is at the bottom of a swimming pool.
The 17-year-old was driving recklessly when he crashed into a parked car and then tried to speed away without anyone noticing him. But in his haste, he lost control of his car and slammed into a fence, then through a screened enclosure and into a pool. He was able to climb out of the car and swim to the surface, suffering only minor injuries. But his social life is likely to suffer a bit more since he won't be allowed to drive for a while. Police say he caused about $30,000 in damages and is facing criminal charges.
