A woman accidentally drove her car out through a barrier, down a 15-foot embankment, and into an unoccupied swimming pool - but escaped injury.

The woman, whose name has not been released, crashed her BMW nose-first into a pool side sun deck at Garden Fitness in Monterey, northern California.

The vehicle flipped over on impact, falling into the pool.

'She was in her BMW, getting ready to leave, and near as we can figure out, she had the car in drive and accidentally hit the accelerator,' said Monterey Fire Captain Paul Goodwin.

'She went through the fence, landed on the side of the pool and flipped upside down.

'She was able to self-extricate from the car, and seemed to be all right, but we sent her to the hospital to get checked out.'

Matt Lamarque, owner of Garden Fitness, said the pool was unoccupied at the time of the incident, but another member was in the jacuzzi at the time.

'I was inside and somebody came running over to me and said one of our members had gone into the pool with her car,' Lamarque said.

'Another member already had helped her out, so we stayed with her until the paramedics got here.

'She seemed to be OK — just a little bit shaken up. She's lucky. If she had been knocked unconscious, she might have drowned.'

The sundeck was unoccupied on the cool, overcast afternoon.
