Picture: SUV plunges into family pool in Joburg

Johannesburg - Paramedics responding to an accident in Roosevelt Park, west of Johannesburg on Friday were met by an unusual sight - an SUV "parked" in a residential swimming pool.

Apparently the SUV, sitting window high in the pool, was involved in a collision with a light motor vehicle at the intersection of Fifth and Pieter Wenning Roads, causing the SUV to crash through the fence and come to a rest in the swimming pool.

"Paramedics assessed the driver of the light motor vehicle and SUV. Fortunately both drivers escaped injury."

Local authorities were on scene for further investigations.
