Car Smashes Through Wall, Lands in Gym Pool

Jason Scott Headshot

A 69-year old driver reportedly hit the gas pedal instead of the brake in his car parked outside a Seattle LA Fitness location, and the resulting accident found his car in the middle of the gym’s swimming pool. 

TV station KOMO reports that the car accelerated from a handicap parking space outside, smashed through a glass wall and splashed into the pool. The incident happened just before 8 a.m. on Monday morning, and three swimmers were present in the pool at the time. None of the swimmers were injured in the incident, and KOMO reports that two of them sprung into action to help save the driver.
