Vehicle Ends Up in Pool

ESTO - During drill exercises on Oct. 24 Esto Volunteer Fire Department witnessed a black late model SUV cross the north bound lane of Hwy 79 around 12:30 p.m.

The SUV narrowly missed a huge oak tree, crossed a lawn, one block in length, hit a fence, crashed through a garage door, attached to a frame dwelling, crashed through the rear wall of the garage and came to a rest against the south wall of an approximately 30-foot-long swimming pool.
