If you live in Los Angeles and ordered a brand new Volkswagen to kick off the new year, you might have to wait a little longer to take delivery of your new baby. That’s because on Saturday night the driver of a VW transport truck bound for L.A. blacked out — due to what officials are calling “some kind of medical emergency” — and drove the truck into the San Diego Bay at a marine terminal in National City.
The driver reportedly came to after being submerged in the water and swam about 13 feet to the surface, where he was helped onto land by dock workers. The driver was taken to a local hospital in good condition.
The same can’t be said for the VWs that were in transit. While only three of the vehicles actually made it into the bay, the position of the trailer suggested that the others didn’t escape without damage.
