“It was terrifying. I couldn’t get the door open. I was afraid because I can’t swim,” Alexander said. “There was no water on the road, anywhere until I got to a puddle of water and I pumped the brakes gently ... All of a sudden, something grabbed the wheel of the car and I started sailing across the street into somebody’s back yard.
