Temecula Driver Crashes Into Swimming Pool [Photo]

TEMECULA, CA — A driver managed to escape major injury after recently crashing into a swimming pool in the backyard of a Temecula home, police report.

The incident happened Sunday around 3:15 p.m. in the area of Nighthawk Pass and Calle Banuelos, according to sheriff's Dep. Robyn Flores.

"It's unknown what caused her to crash," she told Patch, adding that the woman was not arrested and the case is being investigated as a "basic traffic collision."

Though the exact cause is under investigation, it was raining at the time of the collision, prompting Temecula police to remind drivers to be extra cautious on wet roadways — with a little pun.

"Well the day was passing swimmingly until someone went off the deep end and redefined the term 'carpool'," the agency said in a Facebook post. "In all seriousness, we will try and remain pool-itically correct by just reminding everyone that we will be seeing some more water fall from the sky later so be wary of slippery roads."

Police said the woman suffered hand injuries. No one else was in the car and no one else was injured at the home.
