Images released by Florida police bring new meaning to the phrase carpool - a driver forgot to engage the handbrake of her Honda, causing the vehicle to crash into her swimming pool.

Her husband and child were inside the moving vehicle at the time of the crash, reports Okaloosa County Sheriff's office.

Police reveal that nobody was injured in the incident. The Honda however was completely submerged underwater.

Okaloosa County Sheriff's office: "New meaning to the term carpool - Mom thought she put the car in Park when she ran back in to the apartment to grab money. Apparently it didn't go all the way into park. Husband and daughter were in the car when it went in the pool."

It's not quite clear how close to the swimming pool the woman wanted to park and also perhaps why her husband did not try to intervene.
