A car went that smashed through a glass window and into a fitness centre swimming pool in the US was driven by an elderly man, who accidentally put his foot on the accelerator instead of the brake.
Seattle police said a 69-year-old man ended up in the pool on Monday (local time), when he was attempting to park his vehicle outside the gym, local news source KIRO7 reports.
"I've been a lifeguard for maybe five or six years now and I've never had a car, like, fall into the pool before," witness Noah Schlenk said.
He told KIRO7 him and another person worked to get the man out of the water.
