Volvo vs House

Post by mercuric »

Volvo lost.

The driver of a Volvo who crashed into a Southwest Austin home early Tuesday was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries, an Austin fire official said.
The man was able to walk away from the crash in the 6100 block of Salcon Cliff Drive near Escarpment Boulevard between Slaughter and Davis lanes, the official said.
The man told police he had fallen asleep at the wheel, Austin fire Capt. Brandon Wade said.
Or, how not to drive your brick.
lol.

That could be my 850, except for the Texas plates.
