Billionaire Dies After Accidentally Backing Tesla Into Pond

The sister-in-law of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, billionaire businesswoman Angela Chao, lost her life after backing her Tesla into a pond. Chao was attempting to make a three-point turn at her ranch when she reportedly put her car in reverse instead of drive. It sent the vehicle into a pond on her property. Police say Chao called friends for help, and one jumped into the pond to attempt to rescue her but was unable to break the Tesla's windows. Inside Edition’s Steven Fabian has more.

Bro, why is every politicians' family member a

It was confirmed today that she was drunk when she drove her car into a pond. Again to all. Don't drink and drive.

[SilverCymbal]

Police just announced her blood alcohol level was 3 times the legal limit

First rule of driving, make sure you know what gear your car is in

[mercnem]

Should always be an option to manually roll down the windows

Imagine never having ever struggled to pay rent and then dying like this.

[CineGoodog]

Calling 911 or a friend while sinking in a car is like calling someone to bring a parachute while you fall from the 50th floor

Sister of Secretary of Transportation dies in the most common form of transportation, on her own property.

[kummer]

Misfortunes of life. We come with nothing. We leave with nothing.

Imagine being a billionaire and not having a chauffeur or even an uber when you're drunk.

[davidgoodrich]

Imagine “accidentally” backing a car equipped with all sorts of sensors and backup cameras into a pond.

[AkimboJV]

Jeeze. Imagine jumping in to save your friend but you end up watching them drown because you can’t break the window

The irony is that she's the CEO of a trans-oceanic shipping company, but she died in her pond while transporting herself. Her sister was also the secretary of...transportation. 😓 She made an eight-minute call when the car went over a limestone wall. She was three times over the legal alcohol blood level after a party. How come she didn't lower the window? A friend paddled out in a canoe, but couldn't get in until firefighters pried open the back door.

Why would tesla respond for driver error?

[JohnMichaelson]

I think I can safely say 99.99% of all vehicle owners will never accidentally drive their vehicles into ponds.

[grondhero]

"Out immediately" Okay, I'm out.
"Children First." Wait, what?

[ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

My instinct would never be to call 911 who is going to take 20 minutes to get there when this is a 30 second situation

[Zeemas]

Why would TESLA comment on anything? I bet you the best they can offer is "Condolences to her and family.". Obviously, she made a grave mistake, nothing more.

Which proves wealth does not buy intelligence.
