SANTA CLARA (CBS SF) – A vehicle plunged into a swimming pool of a residence Tuesday morning in Santa Clara and crews are working to remove it, police said.
According to Santa Clara police Lt. Dan Moreno, at 2:48 a.m., police received a report of a vehicle that went into a swimming pool of a home in the 3000 block of Warburton Avenue.
The solo driver is a 19-year-old male who does not live at the home. The residents were not there when the crash occurred and police are trying to contact them, Moreno said.
