Car crashes into pool after accident

A car involved in a collision at a roundabout ended up careening through a fence and into a backyard swimming pool in southwest Sydney.

The car mounted the kerb and drove into the pool after colliding with a taxi in Hinchinbrook in the early hours of Friday morning.

The 23-year-old driver and his two passengers were able to get out of the car and were not injured.

A crane will have to lift the fully submerged car from the water over the coming days.

The taxi involved in the crash failed to stop and police are appealing for the driver to come forward.
