CCTV footage in Florida captured the moment when a car ended up in a swimming pool.

Another vehicle which was driving the wrong way at speed, just missed a black car before careering into the bag of a parked white car which was then knocked into the motel pool in the city of Fort Lauderdale.

Fortunately the parked rental car was empty and its driver later said that had the collision taken place 10 minutes later when she returned to the vehicle, she would have been dead.

The driver of the other car is in hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police are investigating the cause of the crash.
