The pool is at 44 Bonnie Banks Road, San Rafael, if you want to Google map it. On the corner of San Pedro & Bayview Roads. I know that road & that's not the sort of curve where one would expect to end up plowing through the fence of someone's backyard; it's more likely to hit the center median. Though she could've done so, swerved back & lost control...or it could've been autopilot, health condition, or who knows what.

About all that's known at this point is that she was NOT wearing her seatbelt, which has led some to assume perhaps she was letting the car drive (though maybe she just didn't like wearing her seatbelt).
