News Headlines - Calif. man shoots his way out of sinking SUV : Townhall.com

A driver whose SUV plunged into a Northern California creek after he was startled by his hands-free cell phone device escaped the sinking vehicle by blasting out the window with a handgun. The 28-year-old man, whose name wasn't immediately available, is an armed security guard at Thunder Valley Casino, north of Sacramento. He sustained minor injuries in Sunday's accident.

A spokesman for the Roseville Fire Department said the man was traveling northbound on Industrial Avenue in Roseville when the cell phone device activated. The driver was startled and veered off the road through the guardrail. The SUV landed in Pleasant Grove Creek.

He used his gun to shoot himself out, then flagged down a passerby.

I would hate to know my cell phone scared me that bad. He probably accidentally shot his window out while he was going down the road, and that is what scared him so bad he ran off in the creek.

It is after all California.

That story is too weird to be true.

The only time mine scares me (tongue in cheek) is when the wife calls. A siren goes off and it screams "It's the wife, It's the wife." Have gotten many a chuckle from people over it.

I thought the same thing when I first read about it. I'll bet he feel asleep the phone woke him up

He sounds more like some one who should not be carrying a firearm. I all ways have my glass breaker, I figure the many sharp edges on my PPKS will break a window and I can all ways shoot it also!

I bet it was a high speed chase involving Riggs,Murtaugh, and McClane and this scrappy young security guard got caught in the mix. After exchanging heavy fire with terrorists, pirates, and ninjas he cut a 180 degree turn in the middle of the interstate while driving in reverse (as he was taught by Randall "Memphis" Raines) and firing at the bad guys. Suddenly a dog ran into the road and he was forced to dodge it and crashed into the waterway. After several moments of intense theme music and unusually clear water filling up the vehicle he shot out the window to escape.

When the normal police showed up he had to come up with a cover story so the others could continue on with their case unhindered by their overbearing, yet lovable, Captain.

That's what probably happened anyway.

Im surprised that the idiots running the state havent figured a way to spin this so that they can pass more anti-gun legislation.
