MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Flore Tome said she used to always think of her Miami-Dade County home’s outdoor area as safe. That was until the unexpected happened on Wednesday morning.
Her neighbor crashed through a wooden fence, barreled through her yard at a furious pace, and he and his white work van ended up in her pool.
“I heard a BOOM!”
Tome said she shudders to think what could have happened had she been having breakfast with her one-year-old granddaughter outside as they often do.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel responded to help Tome’s neighbor near the intersection of Northwest 74th Avenue and Fifth Street.
