Wow! I don't see any tire marks on the grass. Any idea how it went in? It looks like they got out OK, the water is shallow.

You can see the damage to the guardrail. Apparently, the driver fled the scene.

Hey, you can't park there.

Hope there are no injuries.

If only there were barriers to keep this from happening.

I see it. Looks like he hit the guardrail and went airborne into the drink.

Very insightful, Think. I agree. Bollards would have done the trick based on where the car veered from the road. Thankfully it seems no one was injured.

Mercedes SUV plunges into water near yacht club in Gilford

https://www.wmur.com/article/mercede...qOaK3Eg3b0HOE8

A Mercedes SUV ended up in the water Sunday in Gilford after the driver suffered an apparent medical emergency, the fire department said.

Gilford Fire Rescue said a woman was driving with her daughter near Weirs Road. The SUV started going off the road near Meadowbrook Lane, went through the woods, through the front lawn of some condos, popped out in front of a business, through a guard rail and into the water.

"The car was submerged, I ran over, I called 9-1-1. A couple of other guys were there. It was a mother and her small child. They grabbed a knife, they cut her out of the car. And thank God everyone’s ok," said Kyle Albuquerque, who works nearby.

The mother and daughter were taken to the hospital and are expected to be okay.

Booms and other absorbing materials were deployed to help with a spill and DES will do an assessment, the fire department said.

New Hampshire DOT was called to assess damage to the road and guardrail.

Could it have been another car. Because WUR is saying it was a “medical emergency” to the driver

The post above quoted that it went through the guardrail.

Without an arresting net, collapsable tarmac and a magnetic force field, this could happen again!

Better call Sol!

Wrong or Right, I will rush to Judgement, no skid marks of any kind, I would say she was busy messing around with their phone, probably never saw it coming. Thankfully no one was killed.

The quoted section above, which I assume came from the article also above, says it was a medical emergency issue.

The speculation on this and the Looney Bin accident by people who have no idea what actually happened is ridiculous.

It might be best to wait until the investigations are complete and the facts are known. Just a thought.

I was told by a Mt View employee that the police were running the plate number to determine ownership.. maybe the victim was unable to give them that info

Vehicles equipped with working ABS don't leave skid marks.

Quote:

"When ABS first became standard equipment on cars, many drivers were initially confused about the benefits of having the system. Today, ABS is widely considered to be one of the most important safety features available on a car, and it’s no coincidence that more and more models are coming equipped with it. Here’s a look at when ABS was first required in cars and why it’s so important.

"ABS (anti-lock braking system) became mandatory for all new vehicles sold in the U.S. in 1985. The main purpose of ABS was to prevent spinouts and hard stops in slippery or snow conditions, which could lead to an accident. Today, ABS is essential for preventing collisions in all types of driving conditions."
