I have power windows, one of which was down, thankfully. Thank you all for the well wishes and I hope I get it going again, too!

Was not drinking, it was dark out and I went too far to the other side of the one lane, gravel driveway. On one side is a culvert with a 23 foot steep hill and on the other side is the pond. Freak accident.
