SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A motorist in Clairemont drove her SUV into her neighbor's pool Thursday after crashing through her own garage.
It happened just after 2:30 p.m. in the 4600 block of Lehrer Drive near Frink Avenue. The vehicle crashed over a hedge and two fences before plunging into the shallow end of the pool, SDFRD spokesman Maurice Luque said. The 67-year-old driver was able to extricate herself from the SUV, which came to rest on its wheels, about two-thirds submerged.
There were no injuries reported.
It was unclear if the woman might have mistakenly hit the gas pedal instead of the brake -- a frequent cause of similar car wrecks. Intoxication was not a factor, Maurice Luque of San Diego Fire-Rescue said.
A tow truck company was called in to pull the vehicle out of the pool.
The crash was under investigation.
