A woman in Florida gave new meaning to the word "carpool."

The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office responded to a call about a car in a swimming pool on Okaloosa Island, Florida.

A woman thought she shifted the car's gears into park when she ran back into her apartment to grab grocery money, according to the county sheriff's office. Apparently, the gear didn't go all the way into park, and the car ended up rolling into a swimming pool.
