A car was retrieved from a pool in Pembroke Pines after it was found nearly submerged, leaving authorities to investigate how it ended up in the water.
The incident happened Friday morning in the gated community of Encantada located in the 18000 block of Southwest 15th Street.
Authorities arrived at the location to find the car upside down in the pool with one of the doors open. The car also had front end damage, likely from the impact.
It appears the vehicles slammed through a fence before plummeting into the pool.
Neighbors woke up, reacting to the unusual sight.
“Well, I just heard about it, shock,” said Wayne Ellis a nearby neighbor.
According to Pembroke Pines Police, the driver fell asleep at the wheel, and it is unknown how fast he was going.
Ellis told 7News he has noticed that cars are speeding more frequently on the community streets.
“Not surprised because you know, you know these young kids, you know they speed a lot around here,” said Ellis. “You know, they just need to get some, put up some barrier to prevent the speeding, somebody’s going to get hurt outside here one of these days.”
The vehicle has since been removed from the water.
Police say that the driver was the only person in the car, and that they actually called 911 to report that they had gotten into an accident, and is expected to be okay.
An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash is underway.
