A driver accidentally barreled through a fence and into a pool at a Massachusetts campground as families were cooling down on Sunday afternoon.
Miraculously, none of the swimmers were injured after the car, a red SUV, veered into the pool at Sunsetview Farm Camping Area around 1:05 p.m., the Monson Fire Department wrote on Facebook.
“A horrible incident with the best possible outcome, no one was hurt,” the campground said in their own statement.
All of the occupants in the car were safely removed and the fire department used a crane to lift the vehicle back to dry land.
The car dangled in mid-air, its trunk and driver’s side door still wide open as it was carefully lowered back onto the ground.
No arrests have been made. It’s unclear what caused the driver to steer so far off-road.
The family-owned campground first opened in 1970. Before that, it was an old farm and orchard operated by the same family for more than a century, according to its website.
Some drivers just can’t manage to stay on the road.
In March, one Long Island driver crashed through a fence and straight into a family’s backyard pool.
The driver, assisted by others in the area, quickly grabbed his phone and jacket from the sinking car before fleeing the scene.
In November 2024, a driver in Arizona splashed down in a backyard pool on Halloween night. Authorities shattered the window and hauled the man out while he offered a grateful thumbs up to his saviors.
