In an incredible accident in France, a mother lost control of her car and plunged into an indoor swimming pool with her 5-year-old daughter. The driver, who reportedly mixed up the gas and brake pedals, broke through the glass facade and submerged the vehicle in the middle of the pool.
The incident occurred at a municipal indoor swimming pool in La Ciotat, France. The female driver, in her Jaguar XF, lost control, shattered the building's glass facade, and drove directly into the pool.
SUBMERGED IN WATER
Photos taken after the accident showed the car submerged in the middle of the municipal swimming pool. It was learned that the driver's 5-year-old daughter was still inside the vehicle at the time it sank.
SECURITY GUARDS RESPONDED QUICKLY
After the incident, two security guards quickly intervened and rescued the mother and child from the vehicle. According to reports, no one was injured in the accident, including swimmers in the pool.
A statement from the local municipality said, "The passengers in the vehicle were safely rescued, and there were no injuries in the incident."
MIXED UP THE PEDALS
French media reported that the driver mixed up the gas and brake pedals in the automatic vehicle. It was noted that the out-of-control car first shattered the building's glass facade and then entered the pool.
POOL CLOSED FOR DAYS
Following the accident, efforts to remove the vehicle from the pool began, and it was announced that the facility would remain closed for several days. Approximately 900 cubic meters of water contaminated by the vehicle would be drained, and the swimming pool would reopen after necessary cleaning and safety checks.
