TEXAS (KTVT) — An unusual crash sent a Mercedes sedan plunging into Lake Ray Hubbard on Tuesday afternoon after a live-in nanny learning to drive accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brakes.

The incident happened around 3 p.m. off Cosmos Court near Forney, according to Kaufman County Constable Jason Johnson.

Four people were in the car: Two children, the mother, and the nanny.

Deputies responded quickly and were able to pull everyone inside the vehicle to safety.

No injuries were reported.
