Shocking surveillance footage from a home in southern Nevada captures a dramatic moment when a car plows through a backyard wall, becomes airborne, and sends the driver flying into a private swimming pool.

This harrowing incident occurred on the night of December 15 in the town of Laughlin, as reported by FOX 5 Las Vegas.

Authorities and a crash report reviewed by the news outlet revealed that the driver was allegedly traveling at high speed before failing to stop, which led to the vehicle crashing through the concrete barrier.

The video shows the white car spinning through the air against the night sky, a chilling sight as it collides with the roof of a pool house before finally landing near the edge of the pool.

It strikes the roof of the backyard pool house before landing on the property at the edge of the pool.

After the crash, the driver can be seen floundering in the pool after being ejected from her vehicle.

Homeowner Cletis Reed told FOX 5 he heard a loud crash that sounded “like a freight train” and rushed outside, only to find his backyard destroyed and a woman floating in his pool.

“I figured something happened in the street, and I came out to see my entire backyard destroyed,” Reed said.

“Everything was just blown up. The patio is on the ground, the lady is floating in my pool.”

Reed also described how he had been moments away from getting into his hot tub, which was located near the wall that collapsed during the crash.

“I popped the cover on and thought I needed to tell my wife something,” Reed said. “By the grace of God, I’m here. If I was standing there, I would have been dead.”

The driver landed in the shallow end of the pool, which Reed said is only about waist-deep and surrounded by concrete and block walls.

“She was blessed, and I was blessed,” Reed said.

Reed and others pulled the driver from the water. He said she was conscious but disoriented and moaning. 

About 15 minutes later, Reed said, she was standing and being interviewed by police.

The vehicle landed in such a difficult position that a tow truck had to use a crane to remove it from the backyard.

Reed told FOX 5 how he invested his retirement savings into building his backyard oasis, including the resort-style pool.

The crash destroyed the patio and contaminated the 25,000-gallon pool with motor oil. Reed estimates repairs could cost nearly $300,000 and said the pool may need to be completely drained.

The driver was taken to a hospital in Arizona.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for comment.
