Woman Crashes Car Into Swimming Pool

BELLEVUE - A test drive in a car ended with a big splash and a daring rescue in Bellevue Friday morning, after a woman somehow drove the car into a swimming pool.

Police say it was just before 8 a.m. when 911 dispatchers began receiving calls that car had driven into the community pool at the Racquet Club Estates in northern Bellevue.

When police and firefighters arrived, they found the 20-year-old driver was still trapped inside the car. Firefighters dove into the water and broke the car’s sunroof and rear window with their fire axes and pulled the woman to safety.

Police say it all began when the woman was interested in buying a car from a friend and went to take a test drive. But when she started the car, she somehow mistook the gas for the brake.

The car jumped a curb and bolted out of the parking lot. It drove over a phone utility box, glanced off a tree, then crashed through an 8-foot fence and into the pool.
