       A teenager in Colorado was cited for careless driving after police say he accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake before plunging into a backyard underground swimming pool Friday.

       Lakewood Police made light of the incident that happened in the 1100 block of South Flower Circle.

       "Man….it’s a #Hot one out there today, it would be a good day to jump in the…pool," police wrote on Twitter, using flushed face, face-palm and expressionless face emojis and sharing photos of West Metro Fire Rescue divers working with Ace Towing to pull the fully submerged car out of the water.
