    The driver suffered minor injuries but was able to exit the vehicle on his own. Luckily, no one else was hurt, considering the area is popular with swimmers and kayakers

      The driver deserves criminal punishment in addition to the punishment of ignoring physics.

        Would this be a criminal offense? As much as it’s annoying that his car is so massive, he drove a street legal vehicle in the wrong place. Paying for the damages seems like a sufficient consequence.

          Not a lawyer, but I would assume that reckless driving would apply here. If nothing else, he should be liable for the damages financially due to negligence
