Driver praying with eyes closed before wreck

Case in point: a woman in northwest Florida was really trying to let Jesus take the wheel this week when she closed her eyes while praying and also driving a auto.

The woman from Fort Walton Beach drove through an intersection and ended up in the front yard of the home last Thursday, according to Northwest Florida Daily News.

A 28-year-old Floridian drove her auto straight into the brick wall of a home, smashing her front taillights but fortunately causing no damage to the residents inside, according to WPTV.

She tried backing out of the yard but her tire got stuck in sand.

The police said she confessed to praying at the time of the incident and had her eyes closed.

No one was hurt inside the home and the driver was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

The unidentified woman, who was hospitalized for observation, was cited for reckless driving with property damage.
