A 66-year-old woman, behind the wheel of what appears to be a Rolls-Royce Dawn, said she had no memory of the hours leading up to a crash that saw her run into a statue, through a landscape fence, and over a seawall.

The woman, a resident of Palm Beach, Florida, where the incident occurred, was at the wheel at around 6:00 p.m. on Friday, March 31, when she barreled across the property where the damage occurred, reports The Palm Beach Post.

She drove through the driveway, made contact with a curb, and drove across the lawn. Along the way, she hit a statue that the owners of the property claim is worth $3 million. She continued on, and broke through what appears to be a concrete landscaping fence and over a retaining wall, onto a beach.

Her vehicle came to a stop with the front wheels on the beach and the back wheels still atop the five-foot-high sea wall. Fortunately, no other people were involved in the incident, and the driver of the vehicle was well enough to speak to investigators.

However, she claimed that she had no memory of the hours leading up to the crash, police said. Oddly, they added that she did not appear to be intoxicated. She was taken to St. Mary’s Medical Center following the incident.
