A Dodge Charger ended up in a pond in Sacramento County, California, and the police had to fish the car out of there with the help of a diving team. The car had crashed through a gate and plunged into the lake.
Police got a call early morning, at around 8:40 AM, reporting a couple arguing in public, with the cause of the argument being a Dodge Charger. When the officers got there, they found something they did not expect and no trace of the reason for the argument.
One of the suspects involved in the argument was walking down the street, showing clear signs of impairment when the officers asked him questions. The person was also clutching the car keys and said that their vehicle was parked near a lake.
The officers searched the area around the Stonelake in Sacramento County, California, but were unable to find the car in question. Instead, they discovered a damaged gate and tire traces, which led to a single conclusion: the car ended up submerged underwater. Fortunately, nobody was in the car the moment when it crashed through the gate and into the lake.
A local tow company, the Sacramento County Dive Team, and the traffic detectives made efforts to recover the car. Divers tied the rear wheels to a rope linked to a crane to fish it out of the water.
Five days later, it was on the flatbed of a truck on its way to a scrapyard. The insurance company will most likely label it as a write-off. There is no way that Charger is going to get another lease on life after spending so much time on the bottom of a lake.
The Elk Grove Police Department posted the photo of the Dodge being fished out of the water accompanied by the storyline of the morning and joking: "Excuse me, you can't park there," with a reference to the meme that accompanies posts of crashes in the most strange places on social media.
The driver faces charges of drunk driving and of hit and run. Police point out that they have zero tolerance for impaired driving.
For instance, last week, we reported about a German tuning house that started working on a brand-new Porsche 718 GT4 RS that had spent three whole days buried in mud somewhere in Slovenia following a devastating flood. Back then, the team took hours just to get the mud out of the cabin, trunk, and engine bay of the car.

Someone is trying to save a flooded Porsche in Germany
The Dodge Charger looks like a write-off and sounds like a write-off, doomed to hit the crusher. However, there are companies that take on projects that seem next to impossible.For instance, last week, we reported about a German tuning house that started working on a brand-new Porsche 718 GT4 RS that had spent three whole days buried in mud somewhere in Slovenia following a devastating flood. Back then, the team took hours just to get the mud out of the cabin, trunk, and engine bay of the car.
Excuse me…you can’t park there.
