ALTADENA, Calif. – KNBC-TV reports (http://bit.ly/Vw83Gm) that a man was unharmed Saturday after he crashed his car into a backyard pool.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says officers responded around 11:45 a.m. to a report in Altadena of a car crashing into a pool in the 2700 block of Scripps Place.

Officials say the driver of the white sedan was able to get out of the car unharmed, and no one else was in the car or pool at the time.
