Good Samaritans Rescue Three From Car Crashed Into Pasadena Swimming Pool

A car crashed and ended up in a swimming pool of a residence in Pasadena Tuesday, but no one was hurt.

Paramedics and police were sent to the 700 block of West California Boulevard about 9 a.m.

“A Tesla driver hit the accelerator instead of the brake, drove through a wall and into a pool,” said Pasadena Public Information Officer Lisa Derderian said in a statement.

Derderian said that two staff members at a preschool next door to the residence rescued the car’s occupants — two adults and a 4-year-old child.

“The good Samaritans jumped in and saved them before it submerged — more than likely saved them from injury or worse,” Derderian said.

The circumstances of the crash remained under investigation.
