Firefighters pushed the car from the pool house and back to the street, according to a witness.

A male driver lost control of a car, traveled across a front yard, through a fence, crossed the corner of an in-ground swimming pool and crashed into a cabana in Harmony Township.

The man, who appeared to be a senior citizen, at 8:43 a.m. Sunday lost control of the Toyota Camry in the 300 block of Brainards Road, according to a witness.

For an unknown reason, the vehicle left the roadway and initially traveled across the front yard of one home and continued into the back yard of another home. It also side swiped a small pine tree before crashing through the fence, over the covered pool and striking the diving board, the witness said.

After the car came to rest into the pool house, firefighters were able to push the Toyota back to the street. It's unclear if weather was a factor in the crash. Light snow was visible, sticking to the ground and front lawn of the homes during the accident.

The driver appeared hurt and was taken to an area hospital for undisclosed injuries. A trooper with New Jersey State Police's Washington barracks was unavailable Sunday evening to provide more information.

Also responding to the crash was the Greenwich Rescue Squad, Harmony Fire Dept. and paramedics from Hunterdon Medical Center in Raritan Township.
