A wild video shows a truck carrying three children go airborne before plowing into a Michigan lagoon, and authorities believe a drunk driver was behind the wheel.
The footage was captured Sunday on a home security camera in Frenchtown Township in southeastern Michigan.
The video depicts what appears to be a peaceful Sunday before a truck suddenly appears in the frame, crashes into an embankment, then jumps over the embankment and lands in the water. The wheels were lost in the process.
Because of the noise, nearby neighbors learned what had caused the commotion.
