A car went through two fences and ended up in a community pool where 20 adults and children were swimming Wednesday night in the Central Valley city of Sanger.
The car’s two occupants were rescued by lifeguards, and nobody else was injured, the fire chief told the Fresno Bee.
The crash happened around 8:45 p.m. The Honda Civic was on a street that makes a 90-degree right turn at the community center — but the driver continued straight, going across the sidewalk, through a chain-link fence, between two palm trees on the lawn and then through another fence that surrounds the pool.
The car went into the pool’s deep end, and most of the swimmers were in the shallow end, the fire chief told the Bee.
One of the women in the car was taken to a hospital after she was rescued. The driver is suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
