Angela Chao, the CEO of shipping company Foremost Group and sister-in-law of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), died last month after accidentally reversing her Tesla into a pond at a Texas ranch, according to a Friday report in The Wall Street Journal .

Chao, 50, was the younger sister of McConnells wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

Though Angela Chaos Feb. 11 death was reported at the time, The Wall Street Journals story sheds new light on the fatal incident.

Chao had been enjoying an evening with friends and was preparing to drive back to a residence on the ranch shortly before midnight when she accidentally reversed her Tesla Model X SUV, the outlet reported.

The vehicle went over an embankment and into a pond after she attempted a three-point turn.

Chao then made a panicked call to a friend as her electric car became further submerged into the Austin-area pond.

Chaos friends reportedly tried to rescue her, with at least one jumping into the water.

Emergency workers arrived on the scene about 24 minutes after being called, but had to walk to the ponds location before attempting to rescue Chao due to the terrain and accessibility of the location, according to a Blanco County incident report obtained by the Austin American-Statesman .
