Two people were injured when an SUV drove into a swimming pool at the popular Smugglers’ Notch Resort in Cambridge, Vermont, on Monday afternoon.
Vermont State Police said the incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. Monday when the vehicle drove through a fence and landed in the pool, where it became stuck.
“I just heard a bang and a car went there,” 9-year-old Joseph Sage told WPTZ. “It hit my head and it pulled me under.”
He said his dad pulled him and another girl out of the pool.
State police confirmed two people suffered minor injuries and were treated by members of the Cambridge Rescue Squad.
The SUV was pulled out of the water several hours later and towed away.
Photos shared by Notch Road Auto Repair, Towing and Recovery showed the vehicle partially submerged in the pool and also being towed out afterward.
A state police trooper was seen placing a person in handcuffs and putting them in the back of a cruiser. Witnesses told WPTZ hat the person taken into custody was the driver of the SUV, but state police did not release any details on charges being filed in connection with the crash.
Resort officials said nothing like this ever happened before. They said the speed limit on the property is 14 miles an hour, and encouraged people to be extra cautious and attentive while driving there. The pool remains closed until furher notice, the resort said.
