Tesla Driver Plunges Into Pool
Yesterday morning, a Tesla driver smashed into her backyard wall, plunging into the pool. The Pasadena Fire Department tweeted about the incident, sharing a photo from the scene.
Apparently, the driver accelerated accidentally, causing the car to drive through the barrier. Three people were inside the vehicle, including two adults and a four-year-old child.

Fortunately, two “Good Samaritans” were nearby. They jumped into the pool to save those inside, according to the fire department at 9:35 AM.

No one was injured in the accident. Interestingly, The Daily Mail reports that the same Tesla model can be seen parked in Swanson’s driveway via Google Street View.
Swanson confirmed that the home was hers, but declined to comment about the car in her driveway. Here’s a quote directly from the Pasadena Fire Department regarding the incident.
