It's absolutely NOT true that she drove into a lake.


(Isleton is in the Delta and the only nearby water is rivers and sloughs )

I was thinking about this woman today as I was out and aboot...
and it got me thinking that unless she was completely drunk/incapacitated, how on earth could she not get out?

So, I'll play devil's advocate, and you guys tell me if this is possible:
Her SUV plows into the water, and she panicks,,,ok, I can get that.
Is it possible because of her slow reaction time (because of possibly being liquored up), that when she eventually tried to open the door, the water pressing against it wouldn't allow it to open. thereby trapping her in the vehicle?

I don't know the physics involved here, and then maybe she tried to lower the window, but the water shorted out all the power, making her power windows ineffective?

Then she climbed into the back looking for another way to escape?

Feel free to shoot down any or all of my theories, because that's all they are.
It's hard for me to imagine anyone being so stupid, and the only conclusion I can come to is she was trapped and unable to free herself.

Are there any other theories here that could explain her not getting out....besides being stupid?
It seems almost impossible someone could be that stupid.

I've said it before, cell phones and driving are a dangerous combination and thank the good Lord she didn't take any innocent bystanders down with her.
