Neighbor's car rolls, plunges into pool
STEWARTSTOWN, Pa. (AP) - July 6, 2008 But her wayward red convertible nonetheless rolled downhill,
crashed through a fence and plunged into her neighbors' in-ground
pool.
Taylor called to deliver the bad news to her Stewartstown
neighbors, who were in Florida visiting a relative.
"It was hard to get upset because she was so upset," Melissa
Campasino said. "What could you do?"
Hours later, pictures snapped by their daughter Ashley reached
Campasino and her husband Dan. The photos show the 2,300-pound
Mazda Miata fully submerged - and later being raised by a tow
service.
"We just sat and laughed," Melissa Campasino said. "And then
we went out for drinks."
Police estimate the car was traveling 40 miles an hour by the
time it took the plunge on June 26.
The Campasinos are grateful no one was hurt. The pool can be
repaired, though the car may not fare as well.
"She (Taylor) kept saying, 'I could have sworn I put on the
emergency brake,"' Campasino said.
