Palm Beach woman, 66, crashes Rolls Royce through backyard, knocking over a $3 MILLION statue

A 66-year-old motorist who smashed her Rolls Royce into a backyard and damaged a $3 million coral art sculpture has said she couldn't remember the lead-up to the crash.

The unidentified female driver hurtled through the backyard in Palm Beach, Florida, before plowing through a fence and a 5-foot-high seawall. 

The car appeared to be a 2021 Rolls Royce Dawn - worth around $359, 250. 

Astonishing photos shared by the Palm Beach Police show the car suspended from the seawall with its nose buried in the sand. 

Police said the woman - who was a local resident - did not appear intoxicated and was taken to the nearby St Mary's Medical Center for evaluation. 

Officers did not say whether she had been charged.

A photo of the $3 million statue after it had been struck by the driver was shared by Palm Beach Police 

The incident took place on the affluent Canterbury Lane just after 6pm on Friday. 

From there she told cops she had no recollection of the hours leading up to the crash. 

A police report said she was captured on camera entering the property from the driveway before travelling east and making contact with the curb.

The vehicle came to a stop before the driver moved east again and struck the statue.

A statement from the homeowner - who has also not been identified - confirmed the coral art sculpture was estimated to be worth around $3 million.

She was promptly rescued by the city's Fire Rescue division. 

Nobody else was injured and the vehicle was towed from the premises.
