Intense Video Of Florida Car Crashing Into Canal At 80mph

Author Mo On The Radio

The horrifying event that was captured on video by a Cape Coral Ring camera took place right in the backyard of a homeowner. This Florida car crash is intense!

Reported by clickorlando.com – On Sunday afternoon, a driver is reported to have gone airborne into a canal while traveling at approximately 80 miles per hour. Two vehicles were reportedly traveling west on Northwest 17th Terrace toward Northwest 21st Avenue when they were observed by the police. According to the authorities, both vehicles were traveling at about 80 miles per hour.

You can see a vehicle come dangerously close to hitting a teenager in the footage. In an interview with Fox 4, he stated that he immediately ran inside his home and informed his grandfather, Dennis Cote, about what had occurred.

 

“It went down fast. The guy that was out there with the scissors [who went to rescue the driver in the canal], he went down and they barely got out,” Cote said.

A Dodge Challenger was the vehicle that ran off the road first. According to the investigators, the motorist struck a ditch, continued driving through an empty field, struck a small tree, and finally struck a dirt embankment. In the Florida car crash, the car was submerged in water, but the driver was able to get out of it.

According to the report from the police, the driver was “found to be at fault for recklessly operating a motor vehicle.”

Here Are The 10 Most Unreliable Cars For 2023

The first thing you’ll want to know before buying a new car is whether or not it’s dependable. Of course, you can’t say that without first getting behind the wheel of the vehicle, and that’s where Consumer Reports comes to your aid. Similar to previous years, it has published a list of the most and least dependable automakers as well as the most and least dependable vehicles for 2023. Lots of data was pulled to make these conclusions of the most unreliable cars.

After gathering data from more than 300,000 car owners over the previous three model years, forecasts were formed. Additionally, the list of vehicles considered to be the least reliable is a little shocking, even though automobiles like the Toyota Corolla Hybrid or Lexus GX are among the most dependable cars of 2023. Even more shocking is the fact that Mercedes was named the least dependable brand by Consumer Reports for the very first time!

Before making a decision, prospective car buyers should thoroughly research and test drive vehicles, consider long-term ownership costs, and read reviews from both experts and fellow owners. Ultimately, the right choice depends on your specific needs, preferences, and tolerance for potential reliability issues.

I’m a huge car nut, and LOVE doing these kinds of blog posts. Let’s dive in to this list of the most unreliable cars for 2023!

The Data Sources

The majority of the data used to construct the information below came from the Consumer Reports website, but also incorporated information from RepairPal, CarEdge, and J.D. Power.

  • 1. 2023 Jeep Wrangler

    The Jeep Wrangler is renowned for its off-road prowess but is unreliable in everyday use. Consumer Reports claims that even on smooth roads, it exhibits constant brief motions that make it twitchy, making its on-road performance inferior to that of contemporary SUVs. It feels out of place on highways.

    The steering/suspension and interior electronics of the Jeep Wrangler have been claimed to be problematic by owners. Another common issue is excessive noise when driving.

    The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe boasts a distinctive and futuristic outward look compared to other premium cars, which can be a divisive trait. Its dependability, though, falls short.
